GIS Modelling for Urban Land Suitability Study
Problem Statement
We are conducting a study to identify a suitable location for building a National Communicable Disease Quarrantine Centre located at Gombak planning subzone. The site would need to have a contiguous area of at least 10,000m2 and meet the following criteria:
1) Economic factor: The site should avoid having steep slopes as that would require cutting and filling which would amount to a relatively higher development cost.
2) Accessibility factor: The site should be close to existing roads (service roads and tracks) for easy transportation of building materials
3) Health risk factor: The site should be away from the population as we would want to prevent the disease from spreading.
4) Natural conservation factor: The site should be away from forested land, water and parks.
