The selected site should avoid steep slope. This is because construction at steep slope tends to involve a lot of cut-and-fill and will lend to relatively higher development cost.
+
</table>
According to Legal Eagle Contractors, Co. [1], "Less than 10% incline is considered slight and is the easiest to build on, while 11-20% is considered moderate. Anything above 20% is deemed steep.". Hence, I used that as the measure to deem if an area is too steep for building the site.
 
  
Using the following matrix, I used a ranked model to compute a score for the economic factor.
 
  
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
! Percentage of Incline
 
! Score
 
|-
 
| Less than 10%
 
| 2
 
|-
 
| 10-20%
 
| 1
 
|-
 
| More than 20%
 
| 0
 
|}
 
  
=== Accessibility Factor ===  
+
=== Maps ===
The selected site should be close to existing local roads, namely: service roads and tracks. This is to ensure easy transportation of building materials during the construction stage.
 
I assume that for the site to be accessible, the site must be at least 200m away from local roads.
 
I used a binary model, where I gave a score of 1 for the areas that were within 200m from a local road, and a score of 0 for the areas that were more than 200m away from a local road.
 
  
=== Health Risk Factor ===
+
[[File:4maps1.png|1000px|thumb|center]]
The selected site should be away from population i.e. housing areas and offices in order to avoid disease spreading to the nearby population.
 
I assume that for the site to be sufficiently far away from buildings, it needs to be minimally 250m away from buildings.
 
I used a binary model, where I gave a score of 1 for the areas that were at least 250m away from buildings, and a score of 0 for the areas that within 250m away from a building.
 
 
 
=== Natural Conservation Factor ===
 
The selected site should be away from forested land, park and water.
 
I assume that for the site to be sufficiently far away from natural conservation sites, the site must be at least 200m away from natural sites.
 
I used a binary model, where I gave a score of 1 for the areas that were at least 200m away from natural sites, and a score of 0 for the areas that within 200m away from a natural site.
 
 
 
 
 
=== Final Output ===
 
 
 
I used the Raster Calculator to calculate the final scores to deduce where would be the best area to build the site, with the formula "Accessibility@1" + "Economic_Rank@1" + "HealthRisk@1" + "Natural_Binary@1".
