Conceptual Outline

 

    As I found that there are not many dog daycare businesses setting up around my neighborhood, I decided to find a suitable area for a dog daycare business in Tri-cities, which include Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam.

    The purpose of my project is to determine the most suitable locations for a dog daycare business in Tri-cities of GVRD, with using Geographic Information System (GIS) software called IDRISI 32.  I will perform my analysis by using Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) to produce my final result.  

    In the project, I have considered 9 criteria:

 

Factors: Constraints:
Proximity of Conglomeration (Pet Hospital & Dog-Grooming) Household income within $70000-$80000
Distance from Competitions Household without children
Proximity of Parks Commercial Area
Proximity of Highways Dog Expenses
