Project 3: Market Analysis (Week 2)

In this first map submission, there is a market comparison for the two existing stores to distinguish household patterns for book sales and the relative drive time to arrive at the store. The Steiner location will be used as a model store to perform the comparative analysis to select the best of the two proposed locations for the newest addition to the Best Books Store family.



The three prospective locations are identified in the following map.

Project 3: GIS and Economic Development - Data

This map compares four demographic parameters with the locations of the two Better Books stores and competitor store locations.




This map is the first stage in a market analysis for a bookstore company, Best Books, in San Francisco, CA. This map identifies the one mile market zone around each of the two store locations and also the relative percentages of homes with occupants who have pursued college.

Marin City, CA Greenspace (Project 2, Part 2 - Analysis)

Percent tree cover was determined for five neighborhoods in Marin City, California in an effort to demonstrate to the Marin City Manager of the importance of retaining and expanding the city's greenspace.



Calculations were performed to determine the carbon storage and carbon sequestration in the trees in each of the five neighborhoods.

Week 4: Marin City, CA Greenspace Study

The attached maps present imagery of Marin City, CA that has been reclassified to depict the regions throughout the city that are dominated by trees, grass, and impervious layers. The first map shows the location of Marin City by providing inset maps of both Marin County and the group of San Francisco Bay Area Counties.



The second map presents just the Marin City data frame that was generated in ArcInfo 9.3.1 so the classification can be more clearly evaluated or examined.
