Welcome to the Spatial Analysis tutorial! 🌍📊 This guide will walk you through the fundamentals of spatial analysis, its applications, and tools used in the field.

What is Spatial Analysis?

Spatial analysis involves examining data related to objects or phenomena that are represented in space. It helps answer questions like:

  • Where are patterns occurring?
  • Why are they happening in these locations?
  • How can we predict future trends?

Use this technique to uncover insights from geographic data! 📊
