macrolocation

Noun

1. A region or area that contains smaller sites or locations (microlocations).
   • The macrolocation within a river basin is usually determined by areas of major pollution loads, population centers, etc. Macrolocation can be specified, as well, according to percent areal coverage using basin...
   • In the process of valorization and selection of acceptable potential microlocation for energy plants within the selected macrolocation, it is necessary to apply a certain procedure, which will be uniform in all its...
