This brings us to Summary Task 1e, "Create
Food Trailer Competition Service Area."

"The bank wants some assurance that you
won't lose business to your competitors.

They've stipulated that your food trailer
cannot be located within one mile of a

food trailer serving a similar type of
food."

So think about the signature dish you
chose; was it barbecue? Tacos?

And if we go back up in the Statement
of Work, you can see that full list that

you are supposed to choose from.

Make sure your map is activated and on the
Map tab, here in the ribbon,

under Selection Group, go ahead and choose
Select by Attributes.

We are going to use this tool to isolate
the food trailers that already exist for

your specific type of food.

Here in the Select Layer by Attribute
tool, make sure Input Rows is

Food_Trailers_Google.

If it isn't, you can drop down and choose
Food_Trailers_Google.

We are creating a new selection on this
layer.

And we need to create a clause that
will find just the food trailers that have

the signature dish equal to whatever
signature dish you chose.

So if your signature dish of your food
trailer is going to be barbecue, then

you would choose barbecue.

Mine is going to be seafood, so I'm going
to choose seafood.

Next, I can click Add, and you can see the
clause "Where SIGNATURE is equal to seafood."

And then go ahead and make sure it's a
valid expression.

And click Run.

This is going to look at the attributes
of the Food_Trailers_Google layer.

It's going to look at the field signature
and it's going to select every feature

on the map that is equal to your signature
type.

So your results may look different than
mine if your food trailer dish is different.

Now we are going to save this selection
set out as it's own layer, separate from

Food_Trailers_Google, and we're going
to call it Food_Trailers_Competition.

So you can go ahead and close the
geoprocessing pane.

Right click the food trailers Google
layer.

Choose Data, Export Features.

We are exporting the selected features of
Food_Trailers_Google out to their own

feature class within our food trailer
geodatabase.

And we are going to call this
FoodTrailers_Competition.

Go ahead and click Run once you know it's
being saved in the right place with the

right name.

Once it finishes running, go ahead and
close the Geoprocessing pane.

Clear your selected features,

and update the symbology of this new layer
to be a little different.

You can see that the features that were
selected on my map are now represented

in the separate layer.

Next, we are going to create a buffer
layer to make sure that we do not put

our food trailer within the one mile
distance required of these signature

food trailers of similar type.

So click the Analysis tab, and under Tools
here in the gallery, you can find the

Buffer tool.

This will open the Buffer Geoprocessing
pane.

The Input Features should be
Food_Trailers_Competition.

The Output Feature class should be
saved in the Food_Trailer geodatabase.

And it's going to be called
Food_Trailer_Competition_Service_Area.

And then we want to make sure we are
providing a buffer distance of one mile.

And then we want the output features
of this Buffer process to dissolve into

one polygon, so one single feature.

This way there isn't an overlap in the
buffers, because that is not needed.

So go ahead and choose Dissolve Type for
all output features into a single feature.

And then click Run.

And if you want to understand more about
the Dissolve Type,

you can hover over the "i" for information,
and it'll explain no dissolve,

dissolve single feature, and dissolve
unique values for you.

Once the buffer has successfully run, go
ahead and close the Geoprocessing pane.

And now, if I zoom in to this layer, so
right-click and Zoom to Layer,

I have a one mile buffer around each of
my seafood food trailers.

So your output is going to look different,
but you should have a buffer around each

of your Food_Trailers_Competition
features.

Go ahead and save your project before
proceeding.
