My project consists of various maps that were used to get the final result showing where the best location for a fish habitat on Vancouver Island.  The below cartographic model shows how the various maps that I made were put together.  If you use the spatial analysis link at the bottom of the page, this will take you to some of the maps that I have made using various limitations.
 

    The above model is quite confusing, so I will give a basic outline of it.  To being with, I changed any of the vector layers that I wanted to use into raster.  As it turns out, all of them had to be changed over by lineras conversion.  The maps that I had to convert were hydrline, rivanno, epaviwtr, and m_roads.  With these maps now in raster, I can use them in various ideas.   The first raster I deal with was that of hydrline which was reclassed to hydrolines by using 0 = 1 - 99 and 1 = 99 - 9999 stipulations.  This was then used as a buffer of within 25 m within the hydrolines.  This was then done as an overlay with the rivers map to give a hydrobuff map.  The major rivers1 map was created from the rivanno map, and then reclassed to major rivers1 map.  The reclassification steps are from 0 = 0 - 1, 0 = 1 - 6, 1 = 6 - 10, 0 = 10 - 999 that gives the major rivers on Vancouver Island.   This was then overlayed with the hydrolines map by addition and creates hydroriver.  The hydroriver is then used in the MCE map VI Bool.

    Major rivers1 is used to find the distance of the roads in the area which was made into a riverbool.  This was then reclassed by using 0 = 0 - 52,000, 1 = 52,000 - 104,000, 2 = 104,000 - 156,000, 3 = 156,000 - 208,000, and 4 = 208,000 - 9,999,999 to give a riverreclass.  This then had a buffer on it that was used to find anything that was 200m outside the rivers.  This was then used in the MCE map called VI Bool.

    Epwtri was reclassed into the file watershed and used with the stipuations seen in the cartographic model.  A buffer was done on this and with the minimums of 13,000m outside the watershed was exceptable.  This was then called distancebool and shows the distance from these watersheds.  This is then used for the MCE map.

    M_roads was reclassed with 0 = 0 - 75, 1 = 75 - 999 and called major roads.  The reclassification showed the roads that were 75m long and showed visibly where they were.  This was then used in the MCE VI Bool.  The biogeoclimatic zones were reclassed to show the suitable areas for the fish habitat.  It took out the barren lands and the other areas that were unsuitable.

    Lastly, the landuse was reclassed and this was overlayed with major rivers by addition to get a multi-layer of rivers and landuse. All of these maps were then put together through an MCE file and this gave the outcome, with the various stipulations that I set from the project.  I then decided to calculate the km2 of land that it said was available.  It turned out to be 613 km2 on the Vancouver Island that were available for development of the fish habitats.
