Suppose a county government asks you to do a GIS project for industrial site selection. The county uses the following criteria for site selection:1) commercial zones2) vacant or for sale3) not subject to flooding4) not more than one mile from a heavy duty road5) less than 10% slope6) at least five acres in size The county has a GIS database with the following digital maps (in italic) that you can use for the project:1) zoning includes commercial zones2) parcel includes vacant parcels or parcels for sale3) flood shows areas subject to flooding4) roads includes heavy duty roads and other types of roads5) slope groups slopes into 0-10%, 10-20%, 20-30%, and over 30% Use a flow chart to explain how you can find potential industrial sites.
