SPATIAL ANALYSIS

 Open Arc Catalog


 Create four new shape files(Polygon) and name them as clipsh, splitsh, erasesh,
updatesh .
 Import spatial reference from geol2 shape file

Clipping (Subsetting)

Computes a geometric intersection of the input and clip features. The input features or portion of
input features which overlap clip features will be written to the output.

 Launch Arc Map


 Add geol2 and clipsh to Arc Map
 Start Editing , make the Task as Create New Feature and Target as
clipsh
 Draw a polygon in clipsh shape file indicating the area for clipping
 Save edits and stop editing
 Launch Arc tool box
 Click the clip tool (in extract tool set of analysis tool box)
 Furnish input feature as geol2
 Clip feature as clipsh
 Output feature class clipgeol2
 Click Ok
 Add clipgeol2 to Arc Map and compare with geol2

Splitting a map (multiple clips based on an attribute value of a split shape file)

Splits the Input Features and stores them in multiple output shape files/ feature classes. The
boundary of each unique value in the Split Field is used to split the Input Features. The name of
the output layer will be the same as the Split Fields unique values. Output layers are maintained in
an existing Workspace/folder.

 Add splitsh shape file to the Arc Map


 Start editing , and Click ‘Create New features’ on ‘Editor Toolbar’. Select
splitsh Template
 Draw polygon in splitsh shape file such that it covers the entire Geol2
map. Split this polygon into four equal parts by using ‘Cut Polygon Tool’
 Open the attribute table of splitsh  add attribute field Tile with Data
type: text ; Data width: 10
 Assign Tile attribute such as NE, NW, SE and SW depending on the
position of the polygon with reference to geol2

 Save edits and stop editing


 Open Arc tools box
 Click the split tool (in extract tool set of analysis tool box)
 Furnish input feature as geol2
 Split feature as splitsh
 Split attribute as tile
 Set Target workspace as d:\gis\analysis
 Click Ok

Refresh analysis folder in Arc Catalog


You will notice that four shape files consisting of sub sets of geol2 which are corresponding to
the size of the tiles defined
Overlay analysis
Erase

Creates a shape file/feature class by overlaying the Input Features with the polygons of the Erase
Features. Only those portions of the Input Features falling outside the erase polygons outside
boundaries are copied to the Output Feature Class

 Add geol2 and erasesh shape files to the Arc Map


 Start editing. Click ‘Create New features’ on ‘Editor Toolbar’. Select
erasesh template.
 Draw a polygon in erasesh shape file indicating the area for erasing
 Save edits and stop editing

 Click the Erase tool (in overlay tool set of analysis tool box)
 Furnish input feature as geol2
 Erase feature as erasesh
 Output feature class geol2_erase
 Click Ok

You will notice that in the output shape file geol2_erase, part of the data, corresponding to the
size of the erasesh polygon is erased from geol2

Union

Union computes a geometric intersection of the Input Features. All features will be written to the
Output Feature Class with the attributes from the Input Features which it overlaps.

 Click the Union tool (in overlay toolset of analysis toolbox)


 Furnish input features as geol2, gm2
 Join attributes all
 Output feature class un_geogm2
 Click Ok
 Add un_geogm2 to Arc Map and study the extent and attributes compare
with those of geol2 , gm2

Intersect

Computes the geometric intersection of the Input Features. Features or portion of features
common to all layers and/or feature classes will be written to the output.

 Click the Intersect tool (in overlay toolset of analysis tool box)
 Furnish input features as geol2, lu2
 Join attributes all
 Output feature class geolu2
 Click Ok
 Add geolu2 to Arc Map and study the extent and attributes compare with those of geol2
and lu2

Identity

Computes a geometric intersection of the input and identity features. The input features or
portion of input features which overlap identity features will get the attributes from the identity
feature.

 Click the Identity tool (in overlay toolset of analysis tool box)
 Furnish input features as lu2and Identity as geol2
 Join attributes all
 Output feature class idy_geolu2
 Click Ok
 Add idy_geolu2 to Arc Map and study the extent and attributes compare with those of
geol2, lu2

Proximity analysis
Buffer

Creates buffer polygons to a specified distance around the input features. An optional dissolve
can be performed to remove buffer feature overlap

 Click the Buffer tool (in Proxmity toolset of analysis tool box)
 Furnish input features as linea2
 Output feature class buf_linea2
 distance (Linear unit) 1000 m
 take the default values for the remaining options
 Click OK

Near
Computes the distance from each point in the input feature class or layer to the nearest polyline,
or point, in the near feature class or layer, within the maximum search radius
 Click the Near tool (in Proxmity toolset of analysis toolbox)
 Furnish input features as bh
 Near feature class linea2
 Search radius 10000 m
 Take the default values for the remaining options
 Click OK. (You will notice that Near distances are added to the attribute table)
Point distance: The Point Distance tool computes the distances between point features in one
feature class or layer to all points in a second feature class or layer that are within the specified
search radius.

Launch Arc toolbox Click the Point distance tool (in Proxmity tool set of analysis tool box)

 Furnish input features as bh


 Near feature class ow
 Output Table name bh _ow
 Search radius 10000 m
 Click OK
Open the table bh _ow_ 2.dbf in Arc Catalog or Arc Map and you will notice that the distances
between each point of bh and each point of ow is calculated and listed in the table.

Geol2 geology polygon


Gm2 geomorphology polygon
Lu2 landuse polygon
Linea2 Lineaments polyline
Bh Borehole locations point
Ow Old workings point
