    SPATIAL DATA EXPLORATION

    What is Data Exploration in
    GIS?

    Data exploration refers to the activities of visualizing,


    manipulating, and querying data using maps, tables, and
    graphs. These activities offer a close look at the data and
    function as a precursor to formal data analysis.

    Data Exploration is about describing the data by means of


    statistical and visualization techniques. We explore data in
    order to bring important aspects of that data into focus for
    further analysis.
    DATA EXPLORATION IN GIS

    • Data exploration is data - centered query and analysis.

    • The purpose of data exploration is to better understand the data


    and to help formulate research question and hypotheses.

    • Data exploration refers to the initial step in data analysis in which


    data analysts use data visualization and statistical techniques to
    describe dataset characterizations

    • Data query allows the user to:


    – explore the general trends in the data
    – Take a closer look at data subsets
    – Focus on possible relationship between datasets
    WHAT ARE DATA VISUALIZATION TOOLS?

    By using visual elements like charts, graphs, and maps,


    data visualization tools provide an accessible way to see
    and understand trends, outliers, and patterns in data.

    Extracting GIS data—One type of geographic


    information system (GIS) analysis is querying
    attributes, or extracting spatial features to create new
    data.
    DATA EXPLORATION IN GIS

    • Used to search and browse the database

    • Consists of two types such as Attribute and Spatial Data


    Query
    Data Query
    • Structured query language (SQL) is a database “query”
    language designed for extracting information from
    relational databases

    • Boolean expression (Logical operators: =, >, <, >=, <= and


    <>) and Arithmetic Operation: ( +, -, /, x)

    • Boolean Connectors (AND, OR, XOR and NOT)

    Effective Geo-visualization consists of interactive and


    Geographic
    dynamically linked visual tools, including maps,
    Visualization
    graphs, and tables
    DATA QUERIES TO EXTRACT FEATURES
    Requires the processing of attribute data exclusive
    of spatial information. In other words, it’s a process
    of selecting information by asking logical questions.

    Example: From a database of a city parcel map


    where every parcel is listed
    with a land use code, a simple attribute query may
    require the identification
    of all parcels for a specific land use type. S
    Attribute Data Query

    Involves selecting features based on location or


    spatial relationships, which requires processing of
    spatial information.

    Example: Let us take one spatial query example


    where a request is submitted for rezoning, all owners
    whose land is within a certain distance of all parcels
    that may be rezoned must be notified for public
    hearing. A spatial query is required to identify all
    Spatial Data Query
    parcels within the specified distance.
