Spatial Analysis
• The application of operations to coordinate and related attribute data
• Maps are great, but this is the real power of GIS
• Spatial analysis is used to explore or solve a problem using a variety of geoprocessing tools

Calculate Geometry• Length, Area, or
X,Y coordinates• Choose coordinate
system of source or data frame
• Pick units of measurement
• Make sure field has units in the name

Dissolve Tool– Similar to the merge function in Editor
toolbar

Dissolve Tool
• Input Features• Output Feature Class• Dissolve field(s)
(optional)• Statistics (optional)
• Create multipart features (optional)

Buffering• Buffering creates a polygon using a
specified distance from a point, line, or other polygon
![Page 8: Intro. To GIS Pre-Lab Spatial Analysis April 1 st , 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ff8550346895dcef775/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Buffer Tool
• Input Features• Output Feature
Class• Distance– Linear unit (pick
units)– Field (attribute table)
• Side/End type• Dissolve Type
![Page 9: Intro. To GIS Pre-Lab Spatial Analysis April 1 st , 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ff8550346895dcef775/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Buffer application• 500 ft.
buffer applied to houses
• Buffer overlaps transfer station
![Page 10: Intro. To GIS Pre-Lab Spatial Analysis April 1 st , 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ff8550346895dcef775/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Multiple-Ring Buffer• Creates buffers for many distances at
once• Dissolve option makes them non-
overlapping
![Page 11: Intro. To GIS Pre-Lab Spatial Analysis April 1 st , 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ff8550346895dcef775/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Near Tool
• Calculates distance from input features to nearest feature in other layer(s)
![Page 12: Intro. To GIS Pre-Lab Spatial Analysis April 1 st , 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ff8550346895dcef775/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Near Tool• Output has field with ID
and distance of feature
• Multiple near layers can be calculated at once
• Options to include:– Location (X,Y)– Angle (degrees)
![Page 13: Intro. To GIS Pre-Lab Spatial Analysis April 1 st , 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ff8550346895dcef775/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Intersect
• Polygons split at feature boundaries of both datasets
• Only overlapping areas are kept
• Attribute tables are combined in output
![Page 14: Intro. To GIS Pre-Lab Spatial Analysis April 1 st , 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ff8550346895dcef775/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Identity• Similar to
intersect but input features are not clipped
• Features split along identity polygon edges
• Attribute tables are combined in output
![Page 15: Intro. To GIS Pre-Lab Spatial Analysis April 1 st , 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ff8550346895dcef775/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Union• Like Intersect
but both input and union features are retained
• Output features have attributes from both input and union layers
