Title: Module 5 – Finding What’s Nearby
Course: MASTER-GIST-1120-Patton

One of the most powerful types of spatial analysis is finding the features within a specified distance of other features. In this module students will learn the differences between straight-line measurements and measurements along a network; the requirements of a dataset to become a network database, and determining when a straight-line distance is a good model of reality. They will work with creating buffer features; summary operations; quantifying nearness; along with creating distance surfaces and distance analysis along the network. (All assignments are due by Sunday, May 7, 2017 by 11:55 p.m.)
