CASE STUDY
ADVENTURE MUSANDAM, OMAN
The brief was to locate, categorise and analyse adventure sports potential in the Musandam Governorate in Oman. The GIS part of the project was divided into a number of stages:
Data preparation - sourced and transformed existing data including known sports locations, digital terrain model and aerial photography.
Spatial analysis - conducted a multi-criteria evaluation of potential hotel sites considering suitable slopes, aspects, proximity to roads and proximity to settlements.
Field study - collected site locations using GPS and forms input, validated the results of the analysis and of course sampled the adventure sport potential along the way!
Data visualisation - combined 3D GIS with embedded multimedia to create a captivating presentation of the potential of this fantastic place.
