Why spatial analysis?

To study and understand the real world


processes by developing and applying
manipulation and analysis criteria.
To
reveal
new
or
previously
unidentified information
To carryout integrated modeling.

Integration and modelling of spatial data

Spatial modeling involves cyclical processing, retrieving one or more


maps from the data base which are used to create a new map. The new
map then becomes part of the data base and is available for subsequent
processing.
Dr. Vandita Srivastava, Geoinformatics
Department, RSGG/IIRS, ISRO/DOS/GOI

What is special about spatial


analysis in GIS Domain ?

Analytical capabilities that use spatial


and non-spatial data to answer
questions (4 Ws & 1H) and solve
problems that are of spatial relevance!

What are Most suitable locations of a dam?

Querying the GIS


Spatial analysis in GIS involves three types of
operations
Attribute Query
Spatial Query
Generation of new data sets from original
data base
The scope of spatial analysis ranges from a simple query about the spatial
phenomenon to complicated combinations of attribute queries, spatial
queries, and alterations of original data.
Dr. Vandita Srivastava, Geoinformatics
Department, RSGG/IIRS, ISRO/DOS/GOI

Attribute Query
Requires the processing of attribute data exclusive of spatial
information.

Spatial Query
Involves selecting features based on location or spatial
relationships, which require processing of spatial information.

involves
the

requirement to modify the geographic location of the
features involved.

(linked) Spatial and attribute data are retrieved.


No changes are made to the location of spatial elements, and
No new spatial elements are created
To find out what exist at a particular location. What is at... ?
Retrieval of spatial data (points, lines, polygons or mapping units in a
raster map), which are an answer to the question Where is ....?
Retrieval of information using conditional, logical and arithmetical
operators.

(re)Classification
M:N
User controlled vs. Automatic
Equal Interval vs. Equal Frequency

Classification
Classification involves the selection and presentation of a selected
layer of data based on the classes or values of a specific attribute. It
involves looking at an attribute, or a series of attributes, for a single
data layer and classifying the data layer based on the range of values
of the attribute.
Remove detail from an input dataset to reveal important spatial
patterns.
Reduce the number of classes and eliminate details.
If the input dataset itself is the result of a classification we call it a
reclassification
Reclassify data in different systems for different purposes.
Assign codes based on specific attributes.

(Re) Classifications
Based on the number of classes before and after the classification, three
types of classifications can be differentiated:
a) one to one (1:1)
b)

many to one (M:1)

c)

one to many (1:M)
