This small representation is to help the user find their way around the area or location. This document proposes a reevaluation of the usefulness and accessibility of the maps that are on the University of Houston Clear Lake campus. This proposed evaluation will discuss the locations were the maps of the campus and buildings can be found, the initial cost of the options and the usefulness of these maps. The goal of this proposal is to improve the maps of the University of Houston Clear Lake both in ease of use and accessibility while being conscious of the price of each option being proposed.

While conducting an anonymous survey on students from this campus it became evident that many of the newer students were not given the necessary information to navigate the halls or fields of the University of Houston Clear Lake during orientation and spent the first week of university coming to class early so that…

These readings have been analysed using visual techniques before refining to report on the reasoning behind the different trends in the datasets. As Bruny Island experiences (a general) North-Westerly wind direction, it became evident that vegetation and the topography of one sand dune transect would impose an effect on the recorded wind speed (or velocity) readings.
