Overview

ArcGIS Spatial Analyst is an extension to ArcGIS Desktop that provides powerful tools for comprehensive, raster-based spatial modeling and analysis. Using ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, you can derive new information from your existing data, analyze spatial relationships, build spatial models, and perform complex raster operations.

Self-documenting models make it easy for others to understand the spatial analysis process applied, examine what-if scenarios, and compare results. With ArcGIS Spatial Analyst tools, you can

• Find suitable locations.
• Calculate the accumulated cost of traveling from one point to another.
• Perform land-use analysis.
• Predict fire risk.
• Analyze transportation corridors.
• Determine pollution levels.
• Perform crop yield analysis.
• Determine erosion potential.
• Perform demographic analysis.
• Conduct risk assessments.
• Model and visualize crime patterns.
