Final Project
GIS 4048
For my final project I took on the role of a realtor. I was hired by the Smith Family who are relocating to Bernards Township, New Jersey. Mr. Smith has a list of specific criteria that he would like met in order to see where in town he can begin his home searching. I have been asked to identify, and then use a weighted analysis to compare all the criteria and discover an ideal location to search in town for a home. For this project, I was tasked with developing maps for each criteria, then creating a powerpoint presentation that will allow me to display the results that I discovered. My results were surprising! Take a look at the presentation, review the criteria, and view the results. I think you too, will be impressed by the results.
By using several of the analysis tools I learned during the class, I was able to complete several maps to perform my weighted analysis from. I am excited to take these new skills into my workplace and use them. I found that the results that were predicted were slightly different than those that the final analysis produced. I also feel that I would add a zoning layer into the results to display those areas that are residential. Overall, the project was really informative and fun to do. I encourage you to take a look at my presentation and comment on my blog if you have any questions.
