Settlement+PMI

  __PLUS__
 * __PMI Chart for Rice plantation.﻿__ **


 * The site is located on a hilly, mountainous area of the Island. This area of the island contains Woodland trees as well as Dense Tropical Trees. Wood from these trees could be used to build infrastructure on the Island.
 * The site conditions are good for cultivating rice.
 * The site is located close to a river. The river contains fresh water fish which is a source of food.
 * This site is located near various fruit trees in the tropical forest which can be used as a source of food for the area and also as a source of income if sold.
 * As this site gets a lot of rain, this could be used for water catchments to then distribute around the island.

__MINUS__
 * The location of this site is in an area that is likely to be very windy.
 * The location of the site is very steep which could lead to difficulty in accessing the site.
 * The location of the site is quite islolated, it is not located on the coast or near a possible port location. Therefore any materials being imported to this site on the island will need to transported across the island from a coastal/port location.
 * Due to the steepness of this site, the surface of this area will need to be dug into to create a level surface. This may become costly and influence the building of roads and infrastructure. Involved in the process of levelling the surface, equipment may be required to assist with this task. Equipment required may have to be imported from off the island again resulting in rising costs for the establishment of the site.
 * It is a long way to travel to get from this location to another. This may turn people off wanting to live in this isolated place.

 * <span style="display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Will the isolation of this settlement be detrimental to the civilians living there.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Will this in term affect the economics of this settlement as will be harder to encourage tourists to this area
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The landscape is mountainous and steep and the location is isolated, therefore civilians may not want to live in this location. The possibility of jobs and food availability will entice some people to the area, however this may not be enough. What else can be done to entice people to live in this isolated location?
