For GEOG 355 (GIS II) we were tasked with creating a blog about our final project. The purpose of the project is to determine the suitability of building a new daycare facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The method used to achieve this was Boolean Multi-Criteria Analysis, where several factor maps are overplayed to determine suitable areas. These types of analyses are useful for combining many specific criteria to get a determined “Yes” or “No” on whether an area is suitable or not.
The primary softwares used for this project were:
- IDRISI TerrSet Geospatial Monitoring and Modeling Software
- ESRI ArcMap 10.6
The data processing and analysis was primarily based in the Raster spatial data format, but some vector processing and conversion was used in the ArcGIS environment.
