Location Decisions



The three maps above were created for my GIS Applications course.  We were to assist a couple find a home in Alachua County Florida. To assist us we were given the following criteria; close to the University of Florida, and North Florida Regional Medical Center, neighborhoods with a high percentage of home ownership, and neighborhoods where the majority of the population were ages 40 to 49. The first map is a base map of Alachua County. It is for reference showing major roads, cities, and a few other features. The second map depicts four separate views of Alachua county each one showing the different criteria used in selecting a home location. The final map depicts the selection criteria when weighted. The frame on the left shows all criteria equally weighted (25%) the map on the right shows the criteria weighted using 40% for commuting purposes and 10% for homeownership and population 40 - 49 years of age.
