I found the most suitable area for the Community center using a cartographic model. The Cartographic model layed out all of the steps I took to make the final map. It also is a way for me to organize my thoughts and keep them organized. When you are done with the cartographic model you can run it and come up with results. My final step was with the Multicriteria Evaluation which weighted all the factors and put all the factors and constraints all into one and gave me my suitable area results.
My 5 Factors:
1) Increasing value as you increase the distance away from current community centres. (MAP) |
|---|
| 2) Decreasing value as you increase the distance away from nursing homes. (MAP) |
| 3) Decreasing vaule as you increase the distance away from daycare centres. (MAP) |
| 4) Decreasing value as you increase the distance away from elementary schools. (MAP) |
| 5) Decreasing value as you increase the distance away from a skytrain station. (MAP) |
My 3 contraints:
1) Landuse suitablity, areas that are lakes and water bodies, agriculture, recreation& protected natural areas, transportation , communication and utilities are not suitable areas. Suitable areas are considered open and undeveloped, industrial, residential, institutional, and commercial. (MAP) |
|---|
| 2) There must be at least 3 people per hectare for the land to be considered suitable. (MAP) |
| 3) The new community centre has to be located within 500 meters of a bus stop in Burnaby (MAP) |
My MCE results: most suitable area to locate a new community centre in Burnaby. (MAP)
