When passion meets profession
So a friend had requested that I post maps for her but as she well knows, most of my maps are not public information. But, I remembered a map that I made about 5 years ago that I think she might appreciate. It was my final project for my GIS class and I loved it. I took four variables (vegetation, slope, proximity to rivers and ownership) and mapped the optimal site locations for producing a central coast reggae festival. The map was given to a Santa Cruz promoter who was interested in throwing a festival in his neck of the woods. This map was the result of that endeavor. Enjoy! :)

So why don't we have any festivals there yet?
ReplyDeleteHaha Julie! I thought I might get you with this one. Well, sadly, the results were mainly along the Salinas River (farming country) so it wasn't a very successful endeavor. I should've added in land use as one of the variables and that may have helped out a bit. The promoter did start doing a reggae festival but it's held indoors every year; Santa Cruz Bob Days.
ReplyDeleteThis map cracks me up to look back at. Why I choose pink and that horrible green, I have no idea. Must have been before I honed my red, gold, green and camo skills. hehe
