2. Content What is spatial analysis Examples of spatial analysis Types of SA Conclusion 2

3. Definition 3 "A set of techniques whose results depend on the locations of the objects being analyzed" Move the object location and result will change … = location dependent "A set of techniques requiring access both to the locations of objects and also to their attributes" - Both location information and attribute information are used in spatial analysis Source: M. Goodchild, 2001

4. 4 Extracting new information Spatial analysis models, revealing trends and phenomena which otherwise may be lost Controls human intuitions when human eyes could be misleading. Input data Information Spatial analysis technique/ methods Question

5. 5 1 Example of Spatial Analysis applications von Thunen (1783, - 1850) – isolated city-country17831850 City 1 2 3 4 1 – Vegetables, fruits and milk products 2 – firewood 3 – crop framing 4 - livestock

6. 6 Modified conditions Source: Wikipedia

7. 7 (Dr. John Snow (1813 - 1858) Example of Spatial Analysis applications

8. 8 SA methods/ techniques Simple … “what is …?” (identification) “where is …?” (search) … more complex How is object А located to object В? What will happen if… What will be the result of intersection A and B? The best route from A to B? Which objects are located in X1, X2,..., Xn? …

9. 9 Simple questions: Thematic search/Тематический поиск Spatial search/Пространственный поиск What is …? = question starts with location information Where is… ? = question starts with attribute information

10. 10 Spatial Query Query - task for search in a database that meet certain conditions, which is formulated in the query language. In the process the query information can be sorted and processed statistically, that obtained the mean, standard deviation, sum, and other data values. Spatial query - is formed under the terms of containing the coordinates.

11. 11 Distance Analysis Euclidean distance- measuring straight line distance between objects or positions Buffer (classified distance) – discrete zone(s) with fixed distance from the object

12. 12 Overlay - Operation of the graphic overlay one layer to another, resulting in the formation, or a graphic composition layer is derived. The result is presented in a new layer Use Boolean / logical operators, and cartographic algebra (map algebra). The layers were combined in a operators such as AND, OR, negation,... Often inherent in the software commands, such as intersection, union, and Weight categories are used when the importance of the different layers. Mask: absence / presence of characteristics

13. 13 Logical operators Set B Set A A And B A Or B A XOr B AND OR XOR NOT

14. 14 Overlay operations are: determine the origin point of the polygon; determine the origin line of a polygon; determine the origin polygon polygon; overlay of two polygonal layers; destruction of similar classes of polygonal boundaries of the layer with generation of a new layer; determining lines of intersection of the objects; join (combine) the objects of the same type; determine the point of tangency of a linear object, etc.

15. 15 Overlay operation “Point in Polygon”

16. 16 Overlay: Union

17. 17 Overlay: Intersect

18. 18 Overlay: Cut

19. 19 (Re)Classification Goal group attribute data into ranges of values for simplification or: change classification scheme Manual (re)classification Number of classes and class limits can be specified manually Statistical methods for determining class limits (depend on measurement scales) Equal interval Natural breaks Quantile Standard deviation Equal area

20. 20 Reclassification reclassification is analytical operation, which is generating map layer with definite conditions.

21. 21 Reclassification Size of objects. Individual objects

22. 22 Reclassification: Aggregation Aggregation to reorganise data: Qualitative data as well as quantitative data ranges can be grouped into discrete classes -> Reclassification Slopes in Degrees Classified slopes in Degrees Shallow (0° - 5°) Medium (>5° - 15°) Steep (>15° - 30°) Very steep (>30°)

23. 23 Network analysis Group spatial analytical operations aimed at the study of topological and geometrical properties of the linear spatial objects that form a network, the corresponding graphs. examples: the shortest path Selection of the optimal route Allocation of resources? (Possible zone) The nearest services.

24. 24 Cost surface analysis How effective (non-Euclidean) distance can be calculated on a raster? Using the method of "cumulative distance“ Cells assigned a value of costs / difference "Distance" is regarded as the difference between the values ​​ of neighboring cells.

25. 25 Terrain analysis Terrain analysis creates new information such as: - Slope - Aspect (Direction) - Visibility - River Catchment

26. 26 Interpolation Interpolation predicts unknown values ​​ based on known values ​​ located in other locations Tobler’s Law: Location of nearby points are more similar values ​​ than locations situated far away from each other.
