The Process
During the map-making process, multiple geographic
layers are aggregated to produce maps that show the
appropriateness of the land for a particular purpose or
activity. While the application of MCE analysis in GIS is
a technical procedure requiring an intermediate level of
GIS expertise, input from knowledgeable stakeholders in
selecting and prioritizing the criteria to be used in the GIS
analysis to produce the final map may also be required.
The following steps describe the process we used to generate
the map that could be used to guide urban expansion
around El Yunque.
