Spatial Analysis - West Nile Virus Risk Analysis for the City of Burnaby

Spatial Analysis

The process of using Multiple-criteria Evaluation (MCE) is included in this section.

Here is a list of the 6 factors and 1 constraint:

Streets Factor: streetsfuzz

Undeveloped and Open Area Factor: undevelopfuzz

Water Body Factor: waterbodyfuzz

Wetland Factor: wetlandfuzz

Wood Area Factor: woodareafuzz

Parks Factor: parksfuzz

Constraint: burnaby (Reclass module was used to create the constraint image of Burnaby (burnaby.rst))

The following is the weight in the Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) for each fuzz image. We can see which factors are more important than others:

The Eightvector of weights is (constrained by the shape of Burnaby):

streetsfuzz: 0.0275

undevelopfuzz: 0.1264

waterbodyfuzz: 0.1356

wetlandfuzz: 0.4212

woodareafuzz: 0.1446

parksfuzz: 0.1446

Consistency ratio = 0.02

Consistency is acceptable

Please carry on to the Results section to see the mapped results of the analysis.
