Spatial Analyst can help you perform useful analysis, but it cannot solve
problems by itself. To get the results you are hoping for, you have to ask the
• Modeling spatial problems right questions and provide the right information. This chapter will introduce
you to the concept of spatial modeling to help you recognize the conceptual
• A conceptual model for solving
spatial problems
steps involved in performing spatial analysis.
This chapter will explain:
• Using the conceptual model to
create a suitability map Modeling spatial problems.
The conceptual modeling process:
Stating the problem
Breaking the problem down
Exploring input datasets
Performing analysis
Verifying the models result
Implementing the result
Following the conceptual modeling process to build a suitability model. The
suitability model from Exercise 2 of the quick-start tutorial, Finding a site
for a new school in Stowe, Vermont, USA, will be broken down
conceptually to explain each of the modeling steps.

Landuse types
Ranking the areas on suitable landuse types
To rank the map representing landuse types, use the Reclassify
function. As it is preferable to build on certain landuse types due
to the costs involved, you need to decide how to rank the values.
Ranking distance or slope values is relatively straightforward.
You simply have to decide whether short or long distances are
