1. Mapping
   1. Climate classification
      1. and likely coming changes
      2. changes we can influence (Sinai Peninsula)
   2. Ecosystem overview
   3. Landform/geography - caused by what geological processes?
   4. Restor benefits
   5. Location
      1. Country
      2. State
      3. Municipality or County
      4. Within typical area
      5. Actual boundaries
      6. with contours
         1. Experiment to find best interval
         2. The more contour lines the better
2. Existing Zones
   1. What is there already?
   2. Restorations
   3. Rehabilitations
   4. Reclamations
   5. Mitigations
   6. Creations/fabrications
   7. Ecological engineering
   8. Permaculture zoning
      1. 00
         1. Flexibility of intelligences of incumbents
         2. Freedom to experiment
         3. Phobias?
      2. 0
         1. Household skills, energy for, set-ups
      3. 1
         1. Modify home climate, intensive salads, culinary herbs, nursery, daily attention
      4. 2
         1. Grow calories and carbon, out-buildings, compost heaps, poultry
            1. 2,3 & 4 may all be combined in syntropic approach
      5. 3
         1. Orchards & food forests, biomass production, grazing animals
      6. 4
         1. Firewood, timber, large animals,
      7. 5
         1. Mostly native species - ecosystem restoration, wildlife habitat, avoid disturbing
3. Sectors
   1. Sun
   2. Winds
   3. Floods
   4. Fires
   5. (para) Military interventions
   6. Devastating insects
   7. Wildlife corridors
   8. Toxic spray drift
   9. Displaced people & displaced wildlife
   10. Other disruptions
4. Core on-site features
   1. Soils
   2. Micro-climates
   3. Existing vegetation
   4. Water resources
      1. Surface water
         1. flow paths and erosion features (run-off runnels etc)
            1. hyporheic zones
         2. estimated volumes and characteristics of rain events (seasons, agua ceros ...)
         3. catchment surfaces (roads, roofs, compacted soils ...)
         4. possible retention and infiltration sites (topo maps)
         5. on-site storage capacity
      2. Ground water
         1. State of area ground water supplies
            1. In good shape - can be drawn on
            2. volumes?
            3. Marginal - do not rely on
            4. Depleting - do not use
         2. Well already present?
5. Geopolitical history
   1. Old undertories (tensions)
      1. High conflict triggers
6. Ecosocial evidence
   1. Human intelligence in service to
      1. Eccosystem
      2. Balanced society
