CARTOGRAPHIC MODELING
Definition of Cartographic modeling: The use of basic GIS functions in a logical sequence to solve complex spatial Problems.
Cartographic Modeling
The previous sections described many of the processes of a GIS.
Cartographic modeling
An example of use of layers in a GIS application. In this example, the forest cover layer (light green) is at the bottom, with the topographic layer over it.

So my interest shifted from remote sensing to GIS, especially the integration of multiple data layers using conventional cartographic modeling for land suitability analysis.

For this, we may want to consult some of the siyte systems models that we made earlier in our cartographic modeling exercise. We can find areas that are more likely to be warm in winter and cool in summer and where it is likely to be legal to build.
