Module 6: Analysis C

This module is a multi-part analysis through various scenarios. This is blog post #1. For this analysis we were tasked to estimate how much land would be suitable to build on. The analysis itself was based on land cover, soils, slopes, streams and roads. Every item was reclassified into suitability classes using tools: Reclassify, Euclidean Calculator, Polygons to Raster, Slope, and finally Weighted Overlay to get the final result image below. The Weighted Overlay tool was used twice for 2 different scenario with different weights adjusted or being equal.
