Spatial Informatics

Spatial informatics is the study and use of geographic information and technology to understand and analyze spatial relationships and patterns. It involves collecting, managing, and interpreting data that has a geographic component—like maps, GPS data, or satellite imagery—to support decision-making across various fields such as urban planning, environmental management, and transportation. By integrating location-based data with analytical tools, spatial informatics helps uncover insights about how places and spaces are connected, transforming complex spatial information into useful, actionable knowledge.
