Abstract

This paper explores the integration of spatial statistics within the field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Spatial statistics is a branch of statistics that deals with data measured in space, and its application in GIS is crucial for understanding and analyzing spatial relationships and patterns. The abstract begins by introducing the foundational concepts of spatial statistics, emphasizing the importance of spatial autocorrelation and spatial heterogeneity. It then delves into the role of GIS in processing, storing, and analyzing spatial data, highlighting the benefits of spatial statistics in enhancing the decision-making process in various fields such as urban planning, environmental management, and epidemiology.
