Geography 376 -
Advanced Geographic
Information Systems
Final Project (December 2006).
ABSTRACT
At
some stages in our lives, most of us will need to look for a new home.
Perhaps because of a new job, a change
in family circumstances or even
a change in our accommodation
requirements will prompt us to look for a
new place to live. This can be a time
consuming and frustrating task.
Potential movers would have to
formulate a list of requirements and
constraints upon which they could base
their decisions on finding a suitable
home. For this project, we utilized GIS
to facilitate a multi-criteria analysis,
which would provide some useful sources
of information for movers in
selecting an optimal location to live
in -- that is, after factoring in all of the
requirements and constraints into the
decision-making process. The resulting
maps would ideally identify some of the
target places that are deemed
suitable for the family.
