Abstract:

Spatial statistics is a field of study that combines methods for analyzing spatial distributions, patterns, and relationships among spatial data. The particular bachelor thesis evaluates the implementation of tools for spatial statistics in ArcGIS. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part as well as a practical part. The theoretical part defines important concepts of spatial statistics such as spatial autocorrelation, point pattern analysis, spatial regression models and spatial interpolation. What is more, the theoretical part defines the concept of GIS and introduces the ArcGIS environment. The practical part is targeted on the exploration of tools for spatial statistics in ArcGIS. The thesis provides outputs and comparison of explored tools.It was observed that the ArcGIS provides with tools for spatial statistics that can assist in many issues of spatial analysis. The ArcGIS also has its advantages in interpreting the results. Still, not every described in the literature method of spatial statistics is implemented in the ArcGIS. On the other hand, not all those methods from the literature review are necessary for the ArcGIS.
