Spatial Analysis
The following is the different processes leading
to the final analysis.
- MULTI-CRITERIA EVALUATION (MCE)
- The Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) method was used
in the MCE. A separate MCE-WLC was applied for the winter
and the summer set. Each of the previous layers are used
as "factors" while an inverted base map (thus
land = 0, water = 1) as the "constraint."
Weight is the same for winter and summer

Eigenvector thus is the same too

MCE-WLC - Winter

MCE-WLC - Summer

-
With two separate MCE results, I combine
them by averaging their suitability factor. This is done because
if a location is highly suitable in one season but very unsuitable
in another season, it may not be as good as another location
that is suitable in both seasons.
