Overnight Accommodation Density

In order to demonstrate the density of accommodation along the Irish Coast all accommodation points provided by Failte Ireland where processed by using kernel density analysis to aggregate points which are spatially clustered, highlighting areas of high density. Data points were plotted from a Fáilte Ireland Accommodation dataset. Using Kernel Density, a raster of high to low density was produced and contours demonstrating the transitions were created. These polylines were then merged with the bounds of a 25km buffer polygon to create a polygon. The separate polygons were then categorised into their different categories similar to the original raster.
