The workshop will introduce key spatial approaches for solving real world problems using ArcGIS analysis techniques to make better decisions. During the session we will present several standardized workflows for conducting spatial analysis. Following the workflows, we will translate the spatial problems into spatial techniques, and demonstrate different analytical tools in ArcGIS for Desktop to find an appropriate solution for the problem. The workshop will include overlay analysis, proximity analysis, and surface analysis, with use cases and software demonstrations. It serves as an overview and introduction to spatial analysis using ArcGIS for Desktop including the new desktop application ArcGIS Pro.
