It is widely considered that geographic information systems (GIS) should include more spatial data analysis (SDA) techniques. The issues of which techniques should be included and how statistical analysis can be integrated with GIS are still widely debated. However, the typical software does not include all geospatial techniques. In this respect, this thesis focuses on the means to develop a framework which implements R spatial statistical techniques in the uDig GIS so that GIS and spatial statistical analysis can mutually benefit from such an integration. In this respect, this thesis introduces a framework that implements R spatial statistical techniques in the uDig GIS -. For this purpose, a simple interface is designed between two open-source software applications, uDig and the R statistical software package. The platform used here is Windows since the uDig and R compiles and installs smoothly, and they run in Linux and Mac operating system as well. The R techniques, tight integration strategy and RCaller are redesigned with respect to methodology requirements. In conclusion, the integration is successfully implemented and tested by users and developers. There are 14 spatial statistical and four non-geospatial techniques that have been integrated into uDig GIS softwareDevelopers can use proposed the framework to embed any required geospatial technique into uDig easily.

A framework to embed a spatial statistics toolbox in open-source GIS software: kernel density estimation example Cavur, M.; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (2017-01-01) It is widely known that geographic information systems (GIS) should include more spatial data analysis (SDA) techniques. The issues of which techniques should be included and how statistical analysis can be integrated with GIS are still widely debated. This paper focuses on the development of a framework that implements R SDA techniques in the uDig. For this purpose, a simple interface is designed between two open-source software applications, uDig and the R statistical software package. The tight coupling ...
A GIS based spatial data analysis in Knidian amphora workshops in Reşadiye Kıroğlu, M. Fatih; Tuna, Numan; Düzgün, Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2003) The main objective of this study is to determine main activity locations and correlation between different artifact types in an archaeological site with geographical information systems (GIS) and spatial data analyses. Knidian amphora workshops in Datça peninsula are studied in order to apply GIS and spatial statistical techniques. GIS capabilities are coupled with some spatial statistical software and spatial data analysis steps are followed. Both point and area datasets are examined for the effective anal...
Evaluating geoportals Con, Eren; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2014) The idea of sharing data is the most important element for geographic information infrastructure, data standards and quality. To achieve this; building spatial data infrastructure, sharing and the presentation of the data concepts are available throughout the world. Following the production of data, there are specific standards such as ISO TC/211, INSPIRE and OGC to define rules and procedures of data sharing. Following the production of the data within certain standards, it is important to reach the data t...
Discovering fuzzy spatial association rules Kacar, E; Cicekli, NK (2002-04-04) Discovering interesting, implicit knowledge and general relationships in geographic information databases is very important to understand and use these spatial data. One of the methods for discovering this implicit knowledge is mining spatial association rules. A spatial association rule is a rule indicating certain association relationships among a set of spatial and possibly non-spatial predicates. In the mining process, data is organized in a hierarchical manner. However, in real-world applications it ma...
Weighted multi-visibility analysis on directional paths Şeker, Çağıl; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010) Visibility analysis is an important GIS tool that is used in a diverse array of disciplines ranging from earth sciences to telecommunications. Multi-visibility, as a cumulative type of visibility, combines many point-to-point results into a multi-value array. Points, lines, or areas can be used as sources or targets; and the combined values can be calculated in both ways. Through multi-visibility, a special 2.5D visibility value surface can be constructed over a digital elevation model. The effectiveness of...
