Spatial analysis is a set of techniques for deriving new information and knowledge from spatial data. It is distinguished from other types of analysis because the results of spatial analysis are dependent on the locations of the objects being analyzed. Spatial analysis is useful for gaining an understanding of where geographic features and phenomena are located and the spatial relationship or spatial interactions between the features and phenomena. The recent development of geographic information technologies has facilitated the widespread application of spatial analysis, making it an increasingly important analytical tool for scientific research and decision‐making.
