Ask somebody who proficient in using GIS.

Multiple Criteria Site Selection using Vector tools and working with Attribute tables.

Recommended: Read the assignment and review the data sets provided before starting the analysis. Multiple criteria evaluation: A multiple criteria evaluation (MCE) begins with the goals of the evaluation, the required data, and especially the data attributes. The first step is converting the defined goals into criteria. In MCE criteria are assigned a standardized score of suitability or capability. The value of a criteria’s score indicates relative quantitative suitability that be combined to determine a ranked score, sometime called an appraisal score. Suitability score can be ranked from most suitable to least. This process can help us find the best location for a particular use. In this assignment, you will be conducting a multi-criteria evaluation. All the tools you need for the assignment have been covered in the lectures, in class exercises, as well as the ESRI exercises.

Data: Provided in a file geodatabase called and a mxd start up file named Assignment2_Startup. All GIS output should be put into same file geodatabase under the appropriate “subfolders” as outlined in the assignment steps. No results will be saved as shapefiles.

Documenting your GIS Steps: Create a document that shows all the GIS steps taken to complete the assignment and put them into the order completed. This includes the GIS Tools used, input data name, and output data names. You can type out the commands in shorthand or take screen shots, see the Appendix A for help. The documentation should be detailed enough that a beginner in GIS could replicate your work. These results should be saved as PDF, named Your_Lastname_Your First_Name_Assignment2.
