Shepshed Leisure Centre- GIS Analysis
1. INTRODUCTION
This report will undergo analysis of potential sites to locate a leisure centre in the Shepshed, Leicestershire area
using Boolean and fuzzy logic on IDRISI Geographical Information System (GIS) spatial analysis software.
The designer has outlined the following site requirements:
Within 500m of the town of Shepshed
Within 450m of a motorway or A and B class roads
On a slope of less than 2.5%
On Agricultural Grade III land
At least 2.5 Hectares in area
Firstly, the report will explain how the two methodologies were used to produce the site choice maps, and
outline the parameters which resulted in differing recommendations for the leisure centre site using each
method.
Secondly, the site choice will then be justified using data gathered from GIS analysis of population distribution,
accessibility, and other relevant factors.
Thirdly, the advantages and disadvantages for each methodology will be outlined, allowing an evaluation of
which potential site would be best for the leisure centre.
Finally, an evaluation of fuzzy logic methodology for spatial analysis in GIS will be conducted using the findings
of the methodology and from a literature review of existing material on the subject.
2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Shepshed is a town in Leicestershire, England, with a population of 13,505 (2011 UK Census, LSR Online, 2013).
Links to the nearby M1 motorway have resulted in a highly commuter based population, travelling to larger cities
such as Loughborough. Census data demonstrates a primarily middle age demographic, with slightly fewer above
65 and below 25 (Fig.1).

3. BOOLEAN & FUZZY LOGIC
GIS is a tremendous resource during project development, allowing complex and substantial datasets to be easily
visualised through a graphical interface. This interface allows effective and detailed analysis to be accomplished,
using multiple modelling systems and operators.
Two of these systems are Boolean and fuzzy logic. The Boolean logic analyses the dataset by indicating whether
or not the relevant data meets certain criteria, for example if it is over 2.5% slope, or within a known floodplain.
Boolean logic uses various operators (Fig.3) to overlay multiple criterions, allowing decisions to be made
regarding a particular site.
Due to the true/ false nature of Boolean logic, the outputs can only be binary, i.e. 1 or 0, also known as
membership or non-membership, where 1 will definitely occur and 0 will definitely not. This output provides a
precise analysis of a dataset, however the requirements of a project can frequently be dynamic, for example
how close a person would be willing to walk to a bus stop. The answer is unlikely to be an exact value, but more
an educated approximation.
This approximation is implemented in Fuzzy logic, where values between 0 and 1 represent the likelihood of an
outcome occurring, whereby 0.9 represents a high likelihood of someone travelling a certain distance to a bus
stop, and 0.1 indicates a low likelihood. These values can then be graphically represented using transition zones
and inflection points to determine areas of uncertainty. The four inflection points; a, b, c and d, indicate the
point where membership of the curve becomes 0, becomes 1, falls below 1, and becomes 0 again respectively.
This visual representation of the data is known as the Sigmoidal Membership Function (Fig. 4).

These parameters can be adjusted according to the findings of the initial investigation, and from existing
datasets on the same topic. Fuzzy logic is ideal when the parameters of the site cannot be clearly defined, and
require uncertainty to be considered.
4. REPORT METHODOLOGY & MAP DERIVATION
In order to analyse potential locations for the leisure centre, several spatial datasets, or coverages, were used.
These datasets provide information on land use, topography, and the layout of infrastructure in the area. The
coverages were:
Nwcompo- Composite map of the area
Nwland- Land use in the area
Nwroads- Road layouts
Nwtopo- Area topography
Nwurban- Urban area layout
Popln- Shepshed population data
Commands were carried out on the coverages to meet the criteria required by the design team, and ensure that
a feasible area was found for the site.
These commands were:
SURFACE- calculates slope of surface cells from topography
DISTANCE- calculates exact distance from each cell to a set of target cells
RECLASS- creates new map by reclassifying values of existing coverage
DISPLAY- allows the user to view and interact with maps
OVERLAY- overlaps two map images to form a new map for evaluation
GROUP- creates polygons in an image from shared attributes
AREA- creates a new image using area values of land use
FUZZY- evaluates fuzzy logic membership values for the dataset
By using these commands, the areas near Shepshed which met the client’s needs using Boolean and fuzzy logic
could be found. This process will be further explained later in the report.

5. RESULTS OF GIS ANALYSIS
5.1 BOOLEAN LOGIC
Using the more specific Boolean logic, the coverages and commands used result in the following suitable areas
for the development of the leisure centre. Fig.5 was created with the OVERLAY command once factors relating
to the design brief had been implemented into the dataset, as completed using the RECLASS command. These
reclassifications can be seen in Appendix One, with OVERLAY types in Appendix Two.
As indicated in green, there are two sites which meet all client requirements for the development, one to the
South of the main urban area of Shepshed, and another to the East. They are referred to throughout this report
as Site 1 and 2 respectively.
This map was created through the use of three coverages to ensure the parameters for design were met by the
commands previously discussed, these can be seen in Appendix Three.
Figure 5- Potential Sites Identified Using Boolean Logic, IDRISI, 2016
7 | P a g e
Shepshed Leisure Centre- GIS Analysis
The area of Site 1 using Boolean logic was calculated to be 8 hectares and Site 2 as 4.5 hectares, as indicated by
the AREA command output (Fig.6).
5.2 FUZZY LOGIC
The more approximate fuzzy logic methodology naturally leads to a larger area of potential sites, primarily due
to several decisions being made regarding the size of the transition zone for several variables.
These variables were determined as:
Allowable distance from Shepshed
A- 0m B-50m C-500m D-800m
Distance from Main Roads
A- 0m B-50m C-450m D-1500m
Allowable Slope
A-n/a B-n/a C-2.5% D-8%
The cell size in IDRISI is 50m, hence the 0m and 50m range for A and B, and why C and D values are factors of
50. Furthermore, the values for C were pre-defined by the design spec for IDRISI.
The maximum distance from Shepshed, D, was established from distance decay studies from the US National
Library, suggesting that 0.5 miles (800m) is the mean acceptable distance for walking to leisure facilities. (NCBI,
2012)
The maximum distance from main roads was approximated at 1500m, in order to ensure a high level of
accessibility. This was further backed up by the US National Library.
The maximum allowable slope was selected to be 8% due to the British Standard maximum for paths and routes.

All coverages which were created from the assumptions of: distance from Shepshed, distance from main roads,
and slope, can be seen in Appendix Four, with further buffers created in Appendix Five.
With these decisions implemented into the fuzzy logic model of the coverages, Fig.7 was created.
This map was developed using three primary coverages to meet the design parameters, using the commands
discussed in Section 4, in particular FUZZY, these coverages can be seen in Appendix Three. Suitability categories
ranging from 1-100% for feasible sites have been created, relating to design factors such as; slope, distance to
urban zones,and promixity to A,B,C Class Roads and a motorway.
From this result, the uncertainty accounted for in the Fuzzy Logic can be used as a tool for considering expansion
and further development in the area, where site conditions may not be perfect, but may facilitate some level of
growth.
Figure 7- Potential Sites Identified Using Fuzzy Logic, IDRISI, 2016

Shepshed Leisure Centre- GIS Analysis
The total area of 100% suitable cells (Fig.8) was 17.75 Hectares; of which 4.5 Hectares were found in Site 1, and
8 Hectares in Site 2 (as calculated for Boolean logic), complete data can be found in Appendix Six. However, the
area of the sites within 1-100% suitability was 17.75 Hectares for Site 1, and 11.5 Hectares for Site 2, indicating
that although Site 2 has a larger area of 100% suitable land, the potential for expansion is greater at Site 1.
Reformatting the map window of “popln” to identical grid coordinates as the other coverages (0,119,120,239)
allowed IDRISI to overlay the population data with existing coverages. It was expected that this would
demonstrate changes to the size of the recommended site. However, since the maximum walking distance was
estimated to be relatively high C (500m) and D (800m), the areas were not affected. Such findings should be
noted by the design team, allowing sensitivity analysis to be conducted if the public feedback indicated that
800m was too far to walk to the leisure centre.
6. SITE CHOICE & JUSTIFICATION
The Sports England Design Guidance Notes have been consulted to determine the exact site requirements for
the leisure centre.
The notes suggest three overall objectives which make up the site selection:
High Accessibility Potential
High Level Amenity
Community Engagement Potential
-Sports England Design Guidance Notes
With these three overall objectives, more specific objectives for the site can be established:
Potential for Co-location
Public transport Links
Location Prominence for Public Communication
Parking Provision & Emergency Vehicle Access

Shepshed Leisure Centre- GIS Analysis
With these objectives considered, the 4.5 Hectare Site 1, to the South of Shepshed, has been selected for the
site of the leisure centre, as seen below in Boolean and fuzzy logic (100% Suitability- Green).
Although the maps suggest there are larger areas near the town, e.g. at Site 2, the area suggested by Boolean
logic at Site 1 meets all the necessary design requirements, as well as creating additional opportunities which
these larger areas do not.
The decision to choose Site 1 over any other potential sites which met the design requirements was made from
the following observations:
1. Universal private and public vehicular access from M1 & A,B,C Class Roads (200m from A512, 500m
from B591, 1.3km from M1 Junction 23)
2. Within walking distance from urban area (450m from town, 800m from town centre, 6 minutes’ walk
at average speed (5mph))(BHF.org, 2015)
3. Low environmental impact on existing nearby farmland and disused land
4. Room to expand if required
5. Ideal distance from urban boundary to not interfere with town planning, yet close enough for ease of
access.
6. Neighbouring inactive quarry on A512, potential Brownfield expansion site (regeneration)
7. Close proximity to local bus services to Loughborough and neighbouring towns along A512
8. Nearby electrical substation for ease of grid connection (as indicated in Fig.12)
9. Nearby local industrial estate for cooperation and commercial synergy
10. Ease of access for local schools and sports groups

Site 2 to the East of Shepshed did meet several requirements, but the location was evaluated to be inferior
compared to Site 1. For example, the location of the M1 was deemed to limit the local accessibility (private,
public and emergency vehicles), and expansion potential, since the junction to access and exit the M1 is situated
nearer to selected Site 1 (Fig.11), in addition to causing local conflicts relating to noise pollution, air quality and
visual intrusion. Therefore, although Site 1 is slightly smaller than Site 2, the other characteristics of the site
make make for a more feasible and beneficial location for a leisure centre.

7. ADDITIONAL DATA
The proximity of the potential sites in relation to population areas are shown in Fig.13 & 14, again using Boolean
and Fuzzy logic. These maps include the town of Shepshed, but also the wider area, including the periphery of
Loughborough to the East and several smaller rural communities.
As demonstrated by Fig.14, the floodplain of the Blackbrook will not impact the proposed leisure centre at Site
1. The data provided by ENTEC development plans, and the Charnwood Local Authority Interactive Maps indicate
protection from annual rise in river depths, but also from 100 year flood events (Data provided in Appendix
Seven).

8. EVALUATION OF FUZZY LOGIC USE
Fuzzy logic has tremendous potential in determining suitable sites in GIS application. By incorporating a degree
of uncertainty with the data, e.g. how the definition of “far away” can be interpreted, more accurate maps can
be created for spatial analysis. However, the success is determined by the accuracy of the assumptions made to
create the transition zones of the dataset. In this study, the recommended walking and proximity to road
distances were taken from external studies, meaning that their accuracy and usefulness in this context cannot
be guaranteed. In order to ensure the data is realistic, leading to the optimum site being selected, studies should
be conducted within the Shepshed community. By involving stakeholders and community members, a clearer
picture can be developed of how the geographical variables of potential sites may affect the overall success of
the project.
A literature review of fuzzy logic Success in GIS highlights several potential advantages and disadvantages of use.
A study by Imperial College London named Fuzzy Logic and Its Uses: Article 2 (1995) demonstrates the massive
potential of fuzzy logic to engage a huge amount of data, sort this data, and allow spatial analysis, all while
considering a degree of uncertainty. This facility can be used in more ways than just site selection; but in
manufacturing, epidemiology, and a vast array of other fields. (Real-Life Applications of Fuzzy Logic, Singh &
Gupta, 2013)
The accuracy of the fuzzy logic system may be appropriate for this site development, with relatively limited site
requirements, but when more than ten variables are required to be implemented, the process can become
lengthy and complex, as found in Fuzzy Logic: A “Simple” Solution for Complexities in Neurosciences? (2011) by
Godil et al. When such analysis takes excessive time, decisions can be made without adequate data to back these
up, resulting in poorly located, constructed or operated projects.
Additionally, logician Susan Haack has discussed that although there is frequently a need for uncertainty to be
considered, where variables such as distance or community circumstance are concerned, in many cases a
concrete figure should be calculated as a variable limit for best accuracy. She argues that fuzzy logic is only
needed when the limit is completely unknown due to changing conditions or non-linear variables, rather than
simply uncalculated. Fuzzy Logic Objections, Imperial College London (1995)
Furthermore, there is no universal framework for Fuzzy logic analysis for site selection in GIS application, so
consistently accurate transition zones may be difficult to accomplish, as outlined in Error, Accuracy, and Precision
by Foote & Huebner of the University of Colorado (2015).
The lack of a coordinated framework may be down to software access, project type, technical abilities, or a
variety of other factors, but to ensure a model is adopted universally to ensure all site location tasks are accurate,
a consistent methodology may be required.

9. CONCLUSION
By using IDRISI GIS software, potential site locations have been carefully, accurately and comprehensively
investigated to ensure the most suitable site for the client was found, ruling out areas which did not meet the
strict size, land type and proximity requirements of the design brief. By using both Boolean and Fuzzy logic to
locate the optimum site, an array of factors could be considered; including the slope of land, and proximity to
roads or urban areas. The Boolean logic allowed the sites which did not meet ideal requirements to be
immediately eliminated, potentially speeding up the design process, by giving an early indication of potential
sites to developers. By using the Fuzzy Logic in collaboration to Boolean logic, a more realistic notion of sites can
be suggested. By implementing assumptions made regarding slope limits and the distances which members of
the public would be willing to walk, the subtle differences in site conditions can be uncovered and applied to
decision making.
Site 1 to the South of Shepshed was selected due to the high level of accessibility from A, B and C Class Roads,
and the M1 motorway. The proposed site is within 15 minutes walking distance from the town centre, providing
a high level of footfall, and opportunity for public engagement, as prioritised in the Sports England Design
Guidance Notes. Furthermore, a nearby industrial estate provides an opportunity for business cooperation and
partnership. There is room to expand, should the opportunity arise, as the Fuzzy logic map demonstrates,
allowing scope for further developments in the future.
