Methods in Spatial Analysis

This lab explores potential sunshine energy by conducting a limited solar energy analysis of the town Zell am See in Austria, using ArcGIS Pro for the analysis and ArcGIS Online for the presentation of the results.

In this analysis, the two methods Line of sight and Viewshed have been successfully applied to simulate a ficticious scenario for a visibility analysis. ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online were utilized to carry out these analyses and to visualize and interpret the results.

In this analysis, different terrain analysis tools and techniques are explored, including slope and curvature analysis. ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online were utilized to carry out these analyses and to visualize and interpret the results.

Spatial interpolation is based on the idea that nearby locations are more similar to each other than distant locations, as stated in Tobler’s First Law of Geography: “Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things.
