ArcView Spatial Analyst extension enhances the analytic
power of ArcView GIS by seamlessly integrating rasterbased spatial analysis with ArcView GIS softwares vectorbased mapping and analysis. This powerful combination
brings unprecedented power for seamless analysis,
modeling, visualization, and mapping capabilities to your
organization in an affordable desktop package.

RasterVector Integration
ArcView Spatial Analyst lets desktop GIS users
create, query, and analyze cell-based raster maps;
derive new information from existing data; query
information across multiple data layers; and fully
integrate cell-based raster data with traditional vector
data sources.
Cell-based raster data sets, or grids, are especially
well suited to represent traditional geographic
phenomena that vary continuously such as elevations,
slope, precipitation, and so on. Raster data sets can
also be used to represent less traditional types of
information such as population density, consumer
behavior, and other demographic characteristics. In
addition, grids are the ideal data representation for
spatial modeling applications such as hydrologic
modeling or evaluating the dynamics of population
change over time.
elevation
land usage
With ArcView Spatial Analyst, you can leverage both
types of data to achieve optimal results. For
example, site suitability analysis often requires
combining data about slope (information best
represented as grids) and the location of roads and
property boundaries (information best represented as
vectors) in order to determine suitable locations for a
new facility.

Sophisticated Raster Data Analysis
on the Desktop
ArcView Spatial Analyst provides the tools you need to
support a broad range of spatial modeling and application
requirements.
Surface creation (create grid themes from your existing
geographic data)
Surface analysis (create buffers of distance from
features, determine the proximity to a feature, derive
density surfaces, and perform site suitability analysis)
Terrain analysis (slope, aspect, hill shade, watershed
delineation, visibility analysis, contour generation, and
view-shed analysis)
Overlay vectors on rasters, apply masks, and group
raster areas inside vector polygons
Map algebra (reclassify values, assign weighted values
to grids, sum grid values within polygons, and sum grid
values in multiple grids)
Create Surfaces
from Point Data
Create Contours
ArcView Spatial Analyst supports a diverse
range of applications. Some examples include
Capability Modeling
Sensitivity Modeling
Site Suitability Analysis
Site Location Analysis
Crop Yield Analysis
Predictive Modeling
Hydrologic Modeling/Analysis
Trade Area Mapping
Land Use Analysis

Spatial Modeling with ModelBuilder
ArcView Spatial Analyst includes easy-to-use tools for
building and executing various types of spatial models.
ArcView Spatial Analyst users can use the ModelBuilder
process wizards and diagramming tools to interactively
construct flow diagrams that visually represent processes
of geographic analysis.
Models can be created, saved,
and rerun using different input
data and function parameters
enabling users to readily
explore alternative scenarios.
ModelBuilder provides not
only the framework necessary
to construct, execute,
and modify
spatial models
but also an
excellent means
to document and
present models
to others.
Data Sources
Modeling Tools and Features
Create and manage automated and
self-documenting spatial models using
ModelBuilder.
Convert feature themes (point, line, or
polygon) to grid themes.
Create faster buffers based on distance
or proximity from feature or grid
themes.
Generate density maps from themes
containing point features.
Create continuous surfaces from
scattered point features.
Produce contour, slope, and aspect
maps and hill shades of these surfaces.
Perform cell-based map analysis.
Simultaneously execute Boolean
queries and algebraic calculations on
multiple grid themes.
Perform neighborhood and zone
analysis.
Perform grid classification and
display and much more.
Site Location Analysis
ArcView Spatial Analyst can create raster data from any point, line,
or polygon feature source such as ArcInfo coverages, shapefiles,
computer-aided design files, vector product format files, and
ArcView GIS themes created from tabular data. In addition, data in
standard formats can be imported including TIFF, JPEG, BMP,
SunRaster, USGS DEM, DTM, NIMA DTED, generic ASCII,
MrSID, and others.
Developer Tools
ArcView Spatial Analyst includes a rich suite of additional raster
analysis tools that can be accessed through Avenue software,
ArcView GIS softwares built-in object-oriented scripting language.
ArcView Spatial Analyst, customized with Avenue, lets you build
new applications that deliver highly sophisticated spatial modeling
solutions.
Supported Platforms
Demographic Density Mapping
Precision
Agriculture
ArcView Spatial Analyst is available for Windows (95/98, NT,
and 2000) and select UNIX platforms. ArcView Spatial Analyst
requires ArcView GIS 3.x software. ArcView Spatial Analyst 2
including ModelBuilder requires ArcView GIS 3.2 and is available
for Windows (95/98/NT/2000) platforms.
