The purpose of our project is to identify the supply and demand of student oriented apartments with the population age group of 18-24 in San Marcos, Texas. With the help of GIS analysis tools, we can assist the City of San Marcos planning department determine the need for future construction of student oriented apartments.	This project was to create a tree canopy vulnerability index for the city of Austin, Tx. This was done using data provided by the city in the form of environmental constraints and zoning data. By creating a weighted matrix designed from the ground up through research and literature review with a scale of -5 to 5. Once created and weights applied to the proper variables, this was summed up to create a final vulnerability for the city of Austin.
The purpose of this project is to create a watershed vulnerability index for the use of The City of Austin Fire Department: Wildfire Division (AFDWD) and for the view of the general public. This analysis will highlight which watersheds are most at risk to water quality degradation to help the AFDWD with mitigation to better protect those areas at high risk. We will also generate a cost distance analysis to highlight areas that are harder to get to from fire stations based off the landcover.
