Esri UK Annual Conference 2015
Understanding
Spatial Analysis
Robin Appleby & Daniel Cronin
Customer Success Consultants
• New Users
- Give an overview of types of Spatial Analysis
• Existing Users
- Expand your awareness of what analysis is possible
• All Users
- Provide a common terminology for articulating
analysis techniques and business benefits
Session Aims
• Spatial analysis is how we understand our world - mapping where things
are, how they relate, what it all means, and what actions to take
What is Spatial Analysis?
• Understanding Where
• Measuring Size and Distribution
• Determining how places are related
• Finding the best locations and paths
• Detecting and quantifying patterns
• Making Predictions

Understanding Where1
• Reveal patterns and trends
• Visualise change over time
• Combine unrelated data
• Gain insight and understanding
• Quick and easy to achieve

• Gain new geographic insight into existing data (area / perimeter / height)
• Derive new insight through the spatial distribution of data (centre, extent)
• Scientific / Objective approach rather than subjective

• Answer specific geographic questions ‘where is my nearest, how many are
within?’ that would otherwise be impossible.
• Understand and measure impact of one dataset on another (insurance risk)
• Methodology for answering question can be shared with end users

• Scientifically ascertain most suitable locations based on measureable
criteria
• Calculate least cost routes to save mileage / costs
• Quickly understand the impact of disruptions to a network and respond
more appropriately.

• Objectively ascertain significance of patterns/trends in data – should I be
concerned?
• Better understand the processes affecting outcomes
• Understand significance of change over time

• Find other successful locations to site services
• Ascertain and quantify the factors affecting outcomes
• Predict / model spread of data from a sample
• Predict where patterns will spread in future
• Test and evaluate proposed scenarios at low cost/risk
