Isolated six neighborhood census tracts creating the study area within Toronto, ON, CAN to generate maps identifying areas suitable for tree planting based on several criteria. Criteria took into consideration the physical and legal restrictions of the area, alongside the surface analysis outputs provided from the digital elevation model. The project was self guided to make judgments on the data integrity and the overlay considerations. Data Used: Raster: Landuse (0.6m res), Digital Elevation Model (6.0m res) Vector: Neighbourhoods, Water Linear Features, Water Area Features, Structure Area Features, Property Boundaries Linear Features Concepts Explored; re-projecting, buffering vector data, vector to raster conversions, reclassification, raster overlay and surface analysis.
