Site Location Analysis-A large DIY retailer has chosen to expand its operations in Ireland by opening another wholesale unit.
Using GIS and Census socio-demographic data supplied, determine the most suitable site/location for
this new store and conduct a catchment area analysis of the location. The analysis should map the
changes, potential growth and patterns in population, consider access to the site and the employment
and customer catchment of the site. For example, you may look at the road network and how
accessible the site is, population data, and investigate location of potential employees, and other
amenities such as education, health, or housing, etc.
