Spatial analyses

Today, spatial analyses are carried out computerised via Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

The most important interpretation techniques are:

the investigation of corridors (buffers) around existing objects,
the search for objects with the help of distinctive location and factual criteria,
the calculation of catchment areas in networks,
three-dimensional analysis of area structure (e. g. gradient ratios),
blending of spatial and/or factual information on objects from different thematic levels
selective questioning in the data bank about spatial, time-related or factual aspects

Results are (mostly) maps that display the important information space-oriented.
