Methodology

Cities

Cities or towns provide a market for a ski resort. Hence, the closer an area is to a city or town, the more suitable it will be for development of a ski resort. Cities were assigned one value using the RECLASS module. The DISTANCE module was then used followed by FUZZY. It was then assigned a sigmoidal monotonically decreasing curve. City control points were assigned a suitable distance of 100,000m and that suitability would decrease with increased distance.
