DATA COLLECTION
IDRISI Data collected for this spatial analysis are obtained from the Geography 355 SIS lab network drive, under the van_core folder. Some of the data are in Idrisi raster format, but some of them are in vector format. Those data are suitable for me to do my analysis.
I have spent lots of time on searching new data and finally, I have attained some related data from other Vancouver Island websites. However, because of the projection problem, I cannot translate them and overlay them successfully with other existing layers.
Here is the list of data I used for my project:
| landuse.rst | Landuse in Vancouver Island (raster format) |
| ovcamp.vct | Overnight Campsite (vector format) |
| fishlake.vct | Fish Lakes (vector format) |
| endanger.vct | Endanger Animals (vector format) |
| deerelk.rst | Deer and Elk Range (raster format) |
| hunting.vct | Areas for Hunting (vector format) |
| dem.rst | Digital Elevation Model (raster format) |
| isldhwy.vct | Island Major Highway (vector format) |
