b) Modeling GIS spatial using a Model Builder

ModelBuilder is an application use to create, edit, and manage models. the pattern and design is depend on how model and models tool are created.it consists of sequenced of tools and all the data in the model are chained together to formed a workflow. The model will become a model tool once we saved them. To perform the Spatial Analyst tasks which is to find the land availability, a suitable model tool should be created first. The basic concept of the model too is to stringing all tools together in ModelBuilder. Once the model is created, then we can run the model, manipulating with parameter values or use different input data or even share it with other users. That is why ModelBuilder has expand the ability of ArcGis software application in performing spatial analysis. Procedure 1. Right-click the Arctoolbox> Add Toolbox. In the Add Toolbox window, specify the new toolbox

Then , the next step is to create the new Land Availability Model Toolbox. Right-click the Land Availability Model and click New > Model. An empty ModelBuilder session is opened.Meanwhile, in the ArcMap interface, add all four originals data that are created at the beginning of the practical .
as Land Availability Model as shown below.

2. Generally, the ModelBuilder and some of the functionalities are illustrated as below. the canvas; which is the white empty space are function as main display.
whereas the appearance and layout of the tools and variables connected together is called the model diagram.

3. Now that the model is open for editing, from the Table of Contents in ArcMap, click-and-drag the Powerline from ArcMap into the Model Builder window. Click
and drag the Buffer Tool from the Spatial Analyst Surface toolset onto the model and place it in line with the Powerline data.

There are a white box which represents the buffer tool and white oval which represents the output buffers. Both box and oval are in white color because and it is not yet supplied the required parameters.
4. Youll see a white box representing the buffer tool and a white oval

representing the output buffers. These are connected with a line, showing that Buffer tool will always produce an output dataset. In ModelBuilder, tools are represented with boxes and variables are represented with ovals. Right now, the Buffer tool is white because you have not yet supplied the required parameters. Once you do this, the tool and the variable will fill in with color.

5.

Then, activate the Add Connection Tool and use it to create a connection between the Powerline layer and the Buffer Tool. click Powerline, then click the Buffer Tool.

6. Then, to supply parameters for the tool, right-click at the Buffer tool and for Input Features, browse to the path of buffer shapedile on disk

whereares Output Feature Class will populate automatically.to save the model , click Model > Save.

7. Repeat the previous step, but this time add all layer into the canvas: st]udy area,
slope and landuse layer.

8. For the Landuse, Search Select Toolbox in Spatial Analyst toolbox and drag it onto the canvas. This tool used to select the feature datasets and pass it to the next tool. For the Landuse feature, right click at the Select Tool, and for Input

Features, browse to the path of buffer shapefile on disk whereares Output Feature Class is specified as Landuse_cons.shp. then in Expression click the Quiry Builder and enter the mathematical equation in SQL language. The equation is as follow:
LU= Built-up Area OR LU= Forest/Scrub Thus, from the equation above, all the forest,shrub and already built up area are considered as Landuse area.

9. Then, for the Slope data, the same steps with Landuse data are repeate 10. Union the 3 layers Drag UNION command to the Window

a) Perform ERASE process

1. Test the model by clicking the Run button . Youll see the by-now-familiar geoprocessing message window that will report any errors that may occur. ModelBuilder also gives you a visual cue of which tool is running by turning the tool red. (If the model crashes, try closing ModelBuilder and running the model by double-clicking it from the Catalog window. You'll get a message that the model has no parameters. This is okay [and true, as you'll learn below]. Go ahead and run the model anyway.) 2. When the model has finished running (it may take a while), examine the output in ArcMap. Zoom in to Washington state to verify the Clip worked on the coastal areas. The output should look similar to this.

CONCLUSION he model frameworks and applications described in this paper exemplify the potential benefits of using GIS models for regional landscape planning, as tools to help planners identify suitable areas for desired development, locate and quantify the consequences of alternative scenarios, and reduce uncertainties

about the future. Although some processes cannot be fully automated (e.g., data collection and selection, expert rating), and despite limitations of time modeling in GIS, the models created for the Munich Region allowed to integrate a great volume of data and information in a systemic way, to automate geoprocessing workflows, to produce quantified, georreferenced, and visual outputs, helping to optimize and speed up the planning process. The models also provided an easily understandable language between those involved in the planning process. With the ModelBuilder graphical environment it was easy to create, modify, run and re-run the models. These models can also be replicated and adapted to other areas, development goals, and scales. Future developments to increase the benefits of these models include the use of GIS Server technology to implement the models on the Web, land use map update, 3D modeling, and a
