Tree Planting Site
Selection Model
Purpose
A site selection model is a decision making tool for identifying locations
in a landscape where multiple criteria overlap in geographic space.
The purpose of the site selection model used in this project was to identify
specific Center Township residential neighborhoods in which to focus tree
planting efforts. The site selection model was developed and
implemented using geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing
technologies. The goal of the model is to distribute plantings in a
way that maximizes environmental, social, and health benefits to communities
that need them most. Click be
