Module 6 Part 1

 In this lab I did a suitability analysis for land development. First I had to plan what i was going to do to achieve this. First I had to find the problem: Find suitable land for development next I determined what my criteria would be:

1. Land-rank from 5(best)-1(worst). 5-meadow, grass, agriculture. 4-barron. 2-forest. 1-urban, water, wetland

2. Soils-rank soils from from 5(best)-1(worst) according to soil class

3. Slope- rank slope from 5(best)-1(worst) less thank 2 degrees in best. Over 12 degrees worst

4. Rivers- must be 1000 feet away from the river

5. roads-5(best)-1(worst) closer to roads better

I used model builder to plan out my analysis

In the end I didnt use raster calculator and used weighted overlay

The map I ended with

was this:
