Weighted Suitability Model for Single and Multi-Family Campsites
Using a weighted suitability analysis model, areas of high suitability for campers are derived from different weights according to figure 1 below.

The above map was created using a weighted suitability analysis. This model was created to run on each of the layers included in the analysis. All layers are reclassified and then calculated using the Weighted Overlay Tool. This tool sets each of the weights (refer to figure above) to be used in a final analysis of the terrain.

As well as a weighted suitability analysis, a binary suitability analysis was create. What binary suitability means is that an area can either be regarded as a one, or a zero. The use of boolean logic also applies; areas can be regarded as AND, OR, or XOR.

Figure 4 below is the final output for the binary model.
