Methodology

This MCE included a variety of variables, divided into constraints and factors. Constraints are criteria that limit the analysis to a specific region and factors are criteria that define the degree of suitability. There are 7 constraints and 3 factors that were used in this project. Due to the invasive nature of ski resort development on crown land, the constraints will tend to be numerous. By clicking on the criteria, more detailed information may be observed.
