Location Suitability Analysis for a Coffee Bean Farm
No full textThe purpose of this research is to find land that is best suited for farming coffee beans. This study is important because it can improve an economy. One of the ways to make improvements to an economy is through agriculture. The geographic area of interest is northeast San Diego County, California. The use of Geographic Information System (GIS), ArcGIS, was used to create layers of data that are important when growing coffee beans. The GIS layers are topography, soil, and climate. The GIS results provided values of highly suitable, suitable, marginally suitable, and not suitable areas. Many areas were marginally suitable and not suitable amounting to 93 percent (8,292 acres) of the total eligible area (8,864 acres). Highly suitable and suitable areas amounted to 7 percent (572 acres) of the total eligible area
Leading toward solutions to America’s overcrowding and underfunding environmental preservation issues
Get PDFThis research aims to better comprehend how the environmental preservation issues of underfunding and overcrowding of America’s parks, recreation areas, and environmental surroundings are solved through quality leadership. These environmental issues are national, state, and community problems. Currently, there exists a wealth of literature on the environmental problems caused by overcrowding and underfunding. Unfortunately, the successful problem-solving ideas identified throughout these works often do not connect with an element of leadership. This research helps fill this identified gap in the currently available environmental preservation resources. This mixed methods study explored the perceptions, ideas, and successful solutions exhibited by environmental preservation leaders from national parks, state parks, and localized environmental groups. Surveys were constructed to gather responses in the areas of securing the necessary resources to solve underfunding and overcrowding issues, whom their agendas were promoted toward, and what strategies increased community involvement for their cause. The findings of this study are informative and provide methods for environmental preservation groups and leaders to attack the intertwined issues of lackadaisical funding and overcrowding. In addition, any community member who wishes to help stabilize America’s wonderful natural surroundings may find this study inspiring and act as a catalyst for their involvement in environmental preservation. This dissertation advances the understanding of identifying problems, the importance of building a coalition to solve the problems, and working hard until results are achieved
