Everything about Proximity analysis

Geospatial methods for analyzing distance

Proximity analysis is a class of spatial analysis tools and algorithms that employ geographic distance as a central principle. Distance is fundamental to geographic inquiry and spatial analysis, due to principles such as the friction of distance, Tobler's first law of geography, and Spatial autocorrelation, which are incorporated into analytical tools. Proximity methods are thus used in a variety of applications, especially those that involve movement and interaction. Wikipedia →
