Site Selection - Alachua County


This exercise showed me the awesome power of the spatial analyst tools.  The map on the left shows the results of a weighted overlay using the four data inputs from below giving equal weight to each.  The map on the right uses the same data inputs; however, the weights are distributed 40%, 40%, 10%, 10%.  I chose three parcels from each map that I viewed as the most suitable location for the client to choose a house.  It was interesting how the second weighted overlay narrowed the suitable sites to a smaller location.
