Uncertainty

There are many ways to do the analysis. In my case, in the analysis of density, the uncertainty is the rule I built for the weighted value. There could be another more suitable rule for this field. So there is a big difference in the field. The uncertainty could happen in creating Thiessen Plygons, every time we make the operation, the results can become different. Hence, sensitivity analysis becomes important in the situation.

When siting, to do the Multi-Criteria Analysis, we have several tools to decide the best suitable area. For instance, we could use raster calculator tool and based on Boolean Operation etc. As different tool comes out different results, making a comparison between them dose make sense to make the result more confident.

Another disadvantage of my analysis is the shortest path. There are several important factors I should take into account such as the nature reserve and other species distribution. Besacuse of the limitation of my data,  I juse gave a view to slope and land type. It can be unpractical.

Last, I put all the analysis together to see the result.

The road basicallly keep off the high density area but the location of the forest range is undesirable. 

It gets a long way to go to make a reasonable and environmentally-friendly management.

As GIS is developing, we can also combine remote sensing to make update of the data and
monitor the changes of the nature. Based on great theories and with practice, we can use this technology to make an advanced analysis.
