The study aims to employ qualitative analysis methods in setting up scenarios for selecting and specifying sites for industrial projects. The study adopted the descriptive approach to achieve its objectives, where data was collected from both electronic and library sources, and through the methods of determining the dimensions of the problem and written reflection to identify the factors taken when choosing the sites of industrial projects, and the levels of consistency between these factors, where the study data was analyzed and scenarios designed using the methods of Qualitative analysis represented by the method of morphological analysis. The study concluded several results in terms of choosing the locations of industrial projects, and that the most frequent factors in previous studies to choose the location of the industrial project according to importance, which depends on the extent of its success or failure in the future, mostly fall under the economic axes, and that the higher managements of industrial projects are concerned with the extent of proximity to the raw materials, therefore ranked the second in the researchers’ attention because of its impact on the project life cycle and controlling the fluctuation of prices and costs that could expose the industrial project to risks. The study recommends the need to adopt collective creative thinking methods to generate data for the process of setting up scenarios, and the need for decision makers to focus on the selection of the proposed site being appropriate in the long term and not for a specific period, taking into account the possibility of expansion for new projects.
