func (m *SpatialResourceMatcher) FindNearbyResourceProviders(
    ctx context.Context,
    resourceType ResourceType,
    centerLat, centerLng float64,
    maxDistanceKm float64,
) ([]ResourceMatch, error) {
    // Find sites within distance with required capabilities
    nearbySites, err := m.siteRepo.GetWithinRadius(ctx, centerLat, centerLng, maxDistanceKm)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    // Calculate transportation costs using road network
    for _, site := range nearbySites {
        transportCost := m.calculateTransportCost(site, centerLat, centerLng)
        site.TransportCost = transportCost
    }

) (*EnvironmentalScore, error) {
    // Find green spaces within 2km
    greenSpaces, err := e.geoRepo.GetGreenSpacesWithinRadius(ctx, siteLat, siteLng, 2.0)

    // Calculate proximity-based environmental score
    score := 0.0
    for _, greenSpace := range greenSpaces {
        distance := e.calculateDistance(siteLat, siteLng, greenSpace)
        proximityScore := math.Max(0, 1.0 - (distance / 2000.0)) // Closer = higher score
        score += proximityScore
    }

    return &EnvironmentalScore{
        ProximityScore: score,

) ([]OptimalLocation, error) {
    // Get candidate locations based on existing infrastructure
    candidates := f.findCandidateAreas(ctx, criteria)

    var optimalLocations []OptimalLocation

    for _, candidate := range candidates {
        score := OptimalLocationScore{
            Transportation: f.scoreTransportationAccess(candidate),
            Environmental: f.scoreEnvironmentalImpact(candidate),
            Infrastructure: f.scoreExistingInfrastructure(candidate),
            Cost: f.estimateDevelopmentCost(candidate),
        }

        score.Overall = f.calculateWeightedScore(score, criteria.Weights)

        optimalLocations = append(optimalLocations, OptimalLocation{
            Location: candidate,
            Score: score,
        })
    }

    // Sort by overall score
    sort.Slice(optimalLocations, func(i, j int) bool {
        return optimalLocations[i].Score.Overall > optimalLocations[j].Score.Overall
    })
