Further Study

Our main target was to study the methods of finding suitable car share locations in Metro Vancouver in order to set up a spatial analytic workflow for future study. A limitation in this study is that definitions of data vary depending on data source and type. This issue was encountered in the MAUP causing variable consistency of our results. In the future we hope to get census data at a higher resolution in order to produce a more precise and reliable map. We would like to improve the reliability of our analysis by studying the approach of parking location placement by different car-sharing companies. This part was not accomplished in this report due to the limitation of our analysis tools. In addition, resource and time constraints put limitations on the analyses. In the future, by addressing these issues, further analysis will lead to the production of higher quality maps and better representations of the real world.
