Project 3 - Analysis

The above map shows two definitions of the market areas. One of the visual representations is the percentage of Better Book's total sales they contain. 60 % of the club sales are made to members in the inner polygon of each store and another 20 percent in the outer. The other definition is of the drive time.

This map is of the available properties and their market areas.

Project 2: Landscape Design Analysis

The above map includes tree percentage for all 5 neighborhoods as well as carbon storage and sequestration values. This information was prepared by re-classifying area imagery in 3 categories and making a few calculations with methods and equations used by CITYgreen.

This analysis portion was pretty straight forward. The only part I was confused about was the calculations for both carbons. I wasn't sure if I calculated correctly. For the example, on neighborhood 1 for Carbon Storage Capacity, I got: 91.1983747614641 but did the following expression in the field calculator.

Study area (Sum of total acres) * % tree cover [PERCENT] * Carbon Storage Multiplier 0.4303 =

I used the Sum of total acres for the neighborhood since I thought that was the study area for that particular neighborhood, if that makes sense. I did this for each neighborhood.
