Initially, I opened the 2001 landuse shapefile in ArcView and added the
street networks and municipality boundaries. After creating two
shapefiles named Surrey and Langley, I used the Geoprocessing Wizard
and clipped the landuse and street shapefiles based on these municipal
boundaries. The following is a list of the shapefiles created:

The schools
shapefile I digitized myself after referring to online maps from the
school district's webpage - namely, School District #35
(Langley) and School District #36
(Surrey).
After all of the shapefiles were completed, I
converted them
into IDRISI Vector Format using FME 2003 X2. The projection used for
the base files was UTM83 Zone 10 and was maintained in the translation
for all files. Using IDRISI Kilimanjaro, all of the above-mentioned
files, once in IDRISI vector format, were converted into raster format
using the Macro Modeler.
