Abstract:
The Wallowa County Land Suitability Analysis (LSA) and Technical Manual in this document utilize Geographic Information System (GIS) tools for evaluating the relative suitability of land for development in Wallowa County, Oregon. It was developed as part of Geosciences 453/553 Resource Evaluation Methods, a Service Learning class offered at Oregon State University. The project was intended to contribute to two synchronistic goals, providing “real world” applications of the concepts of land-use planning to the students in the class while also providing Wallowa County with tools for furthering county planning efforts.
