3. Selection Criteria Price<$150000 No. of Bedroom>=3
Inside 1mile from major road
Inside 1.0mile from church and grocery
Inside 2.0mile from WL Jr.High School & CE building
All can be adjusted in GUI

4. Requirement of project
Create a geodatabase: gp.CreatePersonalGDB(arguments)
Batch define projection & georegister all data:
Feature class: gp.BatchProject(arguments)
Raster: gp.ProjectRaster_management(arguments)
Batch input features, raster and tables:
gp.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_Conversion(arguments)
gp.RasterToGeodatabase_Conversion(arguments)
gp.TableToGeodatabase_Conversion(arguments)

5. Requirement of project
Perform site selection
Table Select: gp.TableSelect(arguments)
Geocode Address: gp.GeocodeAddresses(arguments)
select feature: gp.Select(arguments)
Buffer: gp.buffer_analysis (arguments)
Clip: gp.clip_analysis (arguments)
Put message in the window
gp.AddMessage(arguments)
Access and manipulate atomic elements
Delete field: DeleteField_management(arguments)
(We don’t need status, score, side from geocoding anymore)

6. Remarks When creating geodatabase, we have to newly set workspace.
ex) Gp.workspace=NewGDB
Have an attention about the paths of source code, reference data of Address Locator.
