5. Convert polygon feature dataset to points. Feature to Point Join facilities/sites to apartment features. Spatial Join Convert joined apartment feature class to raster. Polygon to Raster Reclassify the distance attribute to evaluation scores. Reclassify Sum up the scores of layers with weights. Weighted Sum ❖ Method

9. ❖ Result and Discussion - Apartment right next to the campus always tend to be considered to have very good location - Some apartments near the middle of Tempe can also be good choicesfor students - Students are not recommended to live in the east part of Tempe and some that are too isolated
