meters from sea level. This elevation level would be sufficient enough to cope with rising tides ensuring that the new colony area would not be affected by this issue. * It was discovered that the region B6 andC6 of the island has a lower rainfall compared to the western side of the island, indicating that the high mountains on the west side of the island act as a shield for rain on the central/eastern-side of  the island. It was also discovered that the central/eastern region of the island is less windy than the western-side of the island. It is necessary to minimize these factors as much as possible when creating a new colony due to floods and strong winds, brought on by storms, to be damaging in the quest to start a new colony. * Another major factor for starting a colony in the B5 and C5 regions is that there appear to be some rivers and a lake in that area. This would be a positive due to the possibility of gathering freshwater and fish in these areas would be high. * This area is surrounded by scrub low brush which makes our building a lot easier and less time consuming as the land is already quiet clear. It also allows us to begin farming, harvesting etc. *As our settlement is in the middle of Island, it is considered to be the capital of the Island. It will maintain the main power station furthermore will be the main stop over when individuals are travelling from one settlement to the next. * As the Island will use a Chair lift system to travel from one settlement to the next, each settlement will consists of their transport around the specific settlement. * As the investigation of the Island went on, we have concluded that you could have an estimate population of 100,000 people. * Another minus is that there aren’t woodland trees around the settlement. Again to able to get wood there would have to be some travelling involved. *the area around the settlement is very open which could make it prone to rising flood waters in severe cases. * The area that our settlement is based in suffers from a lack of water as there is only one close river that passes by. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">* Since the island is located in the pacific, it needs to be noted that the tides of the ocean are a factor which is needed to be considered. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">* A fair distance between our settlement and theport, meaning that it may be more time consumingwhen it comes to collecting imports, whether its materials or livestock. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">*The decided form of transport and communication on the island is a large cargo sized chair lift system, this is ideal for our settlement as we are surrounded by low shrub and bush therefore not much labour will be needed for clearing the area. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">*The settlement is central to the island in relation to the majority of the other settlements this may have potential to be built up as the main larger settlement. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">* The Island will be using three types of energy: Solar energy, wind power/energy and hydro energy. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">*The natural exploits on the island are, cotton, oil and tropical fruits. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Plus || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Minus || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Interesting ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">* This particular area of the island has a elevation level of 50-100
 * Since we are looking at a more sustainable energy means of operation of the island, the source of our energy will be coming from nature. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">* A minus would have to be the fact that there is a fair bit of a distance between where the settlement is and where the port is. This means that it will take time to travel back and forth in order to collect imported goods and like stock. If there isn't a form of transport available this mean that it will take longer to walk there.
