• $91 million in open space bonds
• 70%+ voter approval• Goal of 30% of County
area as open space• $10 million remaining• Scarce resources need
to be spent wisely

Wake County needs adequate open space for the:• preservation of natural resources and habitat;• protection of forest and farm land;• provision of outdoor recreation;• preservation of historical and cultural
properties;• protection of scenic landscapes; and • protection of riparian corridors and water
quality.

• Land acquisition – case-by-case• Acquisitions were rated on criteria that were
more qualitative than quantitative• Did not have a systematic, repeatable,
quantifiable process for prioritization

Staff from Wake County Environmental Services, Facilities Design & Construction, GIS, Parks Recreation & Open Space and Planning
• Identify and define criteria for prioritization• Create a model that would enable the
quantitative evaluation of those criteria• Use ranking and weighting of criteria to
establish scores • Use GIS to support the identification of parcels
with highest scores

• Researched previous work• Evaluated other models• Determined a catalog of indicators related to
the criteria by which to rate parcels• Identified spatial and non-spatial data to
characterize the indicators

• Model is a toolbox with a series of routines that connect several processes
• The processes assign a method of intersection, a query of attributes, or a calculation using GIS
• Parcel data used to record scores as intersected with specific variables
