GIS5100 Lab 1: Suitability Analysis

Below is the final product for the last part of this week's lab. To get to this, the suitability was based on land cover, soils, slopes, rivers, and roads. I used the Euclidean distance tool to get my suitability for the roads and rivers data, changed the soils vector data to raster, used to the Slope tool to determine the slope from the elevation DEM, and reclassified everything to 5 suitability ratings. Then I used the Weighted Overlay tool a couple times to get my final products. First, I used Set Equal Influence for all five criteria, then for the second map I manually changed the weight factors for an alternative result.
