Project 4: Report

This is my powerpoint addressing the driving routes and optimal sales routes for Napaa's Best Company. I had lot of issues along the way. Mostly with understanding what wass expected from us. Then with optimizing the routes, I was not able to optimize using a time reference, so my routes are a little long looking. Finally, I could not copy and paste the driving direction without hte document being like 50 pages, so I imported them as a object within my powerpoint. I hope they can be opened outsside the server.

Project 4: Prepare

This is my map showing the spatial distribution of Napa County, CA. We have been asked to show the locations of both liquor stores and restaurants. Also provided are the distribution of households, alcohol sales, Restaurant Sales, and Household Wine Consumption. The last is estimated by 18% of liquor store purchases plus 6% of restaurant sales as instructed.

Question 1: What do you observe about the geographic distribution of households and their restaurant, liquor store, and wine purchases in Napa County?

Answer: One can see a very similar spatial distribution of the key factors. There is more restaurant and liquor sales in the most populated areas, especially in the Central Eastern portion of the county.

Question 2: What do you observe about the distribution of liquor stores and restaurants to these purchasing patterns?

Answer: Many of the restaurants are located along major highways just outside the highest populated region while remaining in regions of still what is considered high population density. While the liquor stores are more spread out with many being located within the highest population density area in the East Central Region of Napa County.
