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.
