Spatial Dependencies

Spatial dependencies refer to the relationships and influences that exist between objects or places based on their locations. In simpler terms, it means that the characteristics or behavior of one thing can be affected by what is around it. For example, in urban planning, the placement of parks can influence nearby property values and residents' well-being. In environmental science, the proximity of a river to a community can impact the area's flood risk. Understanding these dependencies helps us make informed decisions in various fields, from city development to natural resource management.
