The final analysis, which determines the site selection, is determining the shape of the sites selected. As mentioned earlier the shape of the conservation area plays a key role in the stability of the area. In order to obtain the information needed to make an analysis of the shape both the area, in cells, and the perimeter, in km, needed to be calculated. Once these operations were performed a concavity index could be calculated. This would be the final step of the spatial analysis.
