Problems

• Mission, BC was not included in the GVRD land-use data and I was thinking of putting in the location of the race track where they allow pocket bike races on certain selected days in the summer.

• I had to redo this project twice in ArcGIS because I had dimension problems in IDRISI when running the MCE, even when I clipped all the maps to the same size. I realized that the cell size had to be consistent as I gave all my shape files a cell size of 11.

• I tried using the group and multiply modules and it gave me an error about the maximum cells have been reached, therefore I just used the best area module after the MCE result and selected the hectares button and entered 0.55 hectares as the best area suitable for building my facility. This could possibly be the cell size of 11 that I picked back in ArcGIS where I should have picked bigger cell size such a 64. But this best area module/operation works the same way as the multiply and group modules. I didn't include those modules in my cartographic model due to these error messages.
  
• The Disenumeration areas indicated high total population for agricultural land in which I did not expect that these areas were going to contain the highest amount of population for Langley so I had to decide to reclass it and get the average total population within Langley.
  

• If only this course was longer, I think we all would have a better grasp on MCE because it is hard to learn fuzzy when the labs on how to do fuzzy MCE are near the end of the semester and for those with a big course load, it is hard to understand it.
  
• I also realized that for the MCE, the pairwise factors had to be in the same exact order or else the MCE wouldn't work.
  

• Overall, it was a long process to convert the data in ArcGIS and to import it to IDRISI.

• This web page layout had to be made three times as I was having javascript problems, therefore I had to use all the knowledge I knew about HTML and redid the lay out to its most simplist form.

• I couldn't think of any more factors to add to this model, but if there was more time, I'd add more if I could. I guess there should have been more time for collecting data but I had a hard time finding out what kind of topic to do until I thought about this topic and how unique it is.

• I think the residential areas, roads and retail locations variables played the most parts in finding a suitable location in Langley, BC Canada because disenumeration areas and slope didn't seem to that important from what I have noticed with this project. Once again, if I had more time to think of more factors I would have added them in. Possibly if I added more parts of the GVRD such as Richmond, New Westminster and Surrey, I could put in more factors. But then again, I was trying to solve the pocket bike problem within Langley and to also help out local BC motoryclists who cannot ride during the winter season as well.

• Even with the usage of all my factors, my results were how I wanted them to be and I was happy to see them located within al the factors. Who knows, I may show this plan to my friends that own a shop in richmond in which they sell pocket bikes themselves. They may think it's a good business plan, but I guess I will see after this semester during Christmas Break.
