The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 3: Modeling Suitability, Movement, and Interaction

by Andy Mitchell

The third volume in the Esri Guide to GIS Analysis series, Modeling Suitability, Movement, and Interaction describes practical applications of modeling concepts in a geographic information system (GIS). Modeling allows users to explore different scenarios and the impacts of various options, before making a decision.This book covers a broad range of methods for spatial interaction, site selection, routing, and scheduling, and explains the theory behind them so users can better interpret the analysis results. It also describes how a particular method is implemented within a GIS. With full-color maps and illustrations and sample applications, this book will help students studying GIS and professional GIS analysts better use models to evaluate locations and analyze movement.
