Methodology
Constraints are composed of Boolean images, which are hard decisions, limiting the analysis to a particular geographic region. Factors are criteria which define some degree of suitability for all geographic regions.
CONSTRAINTS:
1. Study Area (Langley)
-facility should be within the boundary of Langley, BC Canada.2. Land-Use
-facility should be built on open and undeveloped land within Langley, BC Canada.FACTORS:
1. Distance from road networks
-facility should be in close proximity, at least 50 meters to a road network. Motorcycle enthusiasts must have pavement in order to travel to this destination by various transportation modes. This facility requires high accessibility in order for people to come.2. Distance from residential areas
-facility should be in close proximity to residents as this will deter youth off the streets with the usage of pocket bikes, instead they can travel to my facility and race in a safe environment.3. Distance from pocket bike retailers
-this facility should be within 5000 meters from a pocket bike retail store as these are the places to buy them along with new parts to modify the pocket bikes at the owners discretion. Also, this will boost business for these retail stores for those interested in this hobby.4. Distance from dense population
-the facility should be within close proximity to disenumeration areas with a relative average amount of the total population so that people won't have to travel far. There will also be customers from the GVRD that will come to this facility as well.5. Slope
-Facility should be constructed on land that has a slope of 15% or less so that it is less expensive and cheaper to build on relatively flat land.Building size (AFTER MCE)
-Requirement for this building should be at least 55,000 square foot in size (1.26262626 acres) or (0.51096672 hectares) but for my model, I rounded it to 0.55 hectares just incase the facility needed more space to build. I based this on the indoor go-kart race track in Richmond, BC in which I have been to that facility and it is pretty big. I looked on the website to determine it's exact size which was 55,000 square foot and decided a facility of that size would be optimal for pocket bikes as well.
