Why would I use Site Selection Tools?
January 26, 2011Site Selection - IAP 2011
Decide on an appropriate location for a new building
Uncover areas of risk for geologic hazards
Pinpoint areas for development
Establish safe zones for habitation

Add Layers of Data to GIS
January 26, 2011Site Selection - IAP 2011
Census Infrastructure Environmental
Analyze Layers Together

Keep in mind…
January 26, 2011Site Selection - IAP 2011
Data issues in vector processing Complex world, simplified data Real world becomes vector data (as
points, lines and polygons) You choose which data to use, and how
to represent it.

Selection of features for use in a GIS
January 26, 2011Site Selection - IAP 2011
Only details of interest to the creator are stored in the data.
Metadata: who made the data and why you should use it, or not!

Representation of data
January 26, 2011Site Selection - IAP 2011
Tied to scale and data type City as point or
polygon? Vector objects in a GIS
have defined boundaries, unlike nature (transition in forests)

Overlay operations in a GIS
January 26, 2011Site Selection - IAP 2011
Origins in Landscape Planning Set theory – polygons represent sets,
overlay represents intersects, unions and symmetrical difference

Spatial Join

Point in polygonoperation – whichpoints are in the Polygon?
Polygon ID (id_1) isadded to the pointlayer’s attribute table.
