the scale model is helpful to the analysis be-
cause it presents the context in three-dimen-
sional form.

the summary analysis identifies the good

things and the bad things, the best places and
the worst places, within the project area.

problem based on result we have got
from our research.

According data we have gathered

about the issue and making of some
predict is called Forecast.

Using this technique the designer

constructs possible futures imagin-
ing the major factors which may
affect the way people live.

Sieve Mapping

Analyzing constraints and possibilities can be

expressed graphically as a series of sieve maps.

Computer models used as a combination of geo-

graphical data and socio-economics to provide
information based on data we entered.
