11. Attraction analysis reveals optimal location: Variables in index include: ●Vacancy (index heavily weighted towards vacant spots) ●Assessed Value/sq ft (lower cost weighted higher) ●Year of building construction (newer buildings weighted higher) 12159 Branford

12. Transition Index reveals optimal location

13. Index with environmental cleanup favored Index with job creation favored Results of transition index based on weights

16. Additional Skills Used Buffering (required for measurement/analysis skill) on slide of green job cluster Original Data (required, seen in physical, business, and environmental inventories I constructed for the project area) Inset Map (for Pacoima in L.A. and for project area in Pacoima) Hot Spot Analysis to determine optimal green job location (based on different variables for each model) Graduate Symbol (depicting number of manufacturing jobs) Aggregating Attribute Fields (eg. Span1st/All * 100) Attribute Subset Selection (used many times, such as Pacoima by census tract, land use: industrial and residential, etc) Geoproecessing (Clip, Merge and Divide to create parcel area)
