Using Intersect, the residential-only land use layer is joined with the DA population shapefile. Using the polygon Land Use layer, a residential-only land use layer was extracted by selecting the residential attributes. The population dwelling counts in each DA were downloaded as a table (from CHASS) and joined to the DA shapefiles (from Geography G drive) by the attribute “DAUID”. Higher weight is given towards mixed residential commercial areas, symbolized in dark purple.
Results from Polygon to Raster for Land Use. The Cell Assignment used was Maximum Combined Area with a cell size of 10m.įigure 8. The Value Field used was the corresponding weights from the AHP. This resulting edited Land Use layer was converted into a raster layer using Polygon to Raster within Conversion Tools ( Figure 8). Includes all other land use types which cannot be constructed on such as Agriculture, Cemetery, Harvesting and Research, Lakes and Other Water, Port Metro Vancouver, Protected Watersheds, Recreation, Open Space and Protected Natural Areas, Road Right-of-way, Undeveloped and Unclassified. Prohibited Construction and Development (0.0175).Includes Airport/Airship, Industrial, Industrial Extractive and Rail, Rapid Transit, Other Transportation, Utility and Communication. Includes all other residential types such as Mobile Home Park, Single Detached and Duplex, Rural, Institutional and Non-Market housing. Includes Residential High-Rise apartments, Low-Rise apartments, Townhouses. Includes Mixed Commercial and Residential low rise and high rise apartments. A list of the grouped land use types, as well as their corresponding weights, are as follows: Six different classes were created for symbology purposes. The weight importance of each class compared to each other was determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) on 123AHP. We decided to group together similar land use types. For our analysis, this large number was not needed.
The 2011 Land Use data collected included 24 land use types. To use in our Multi Criteria Evaluation, these three factors must be normalized and then converted into raster format. Apart from the Points of Interest, important factors that also need to be considered are: land use, population in residential areas and number of renters.
