Network-Based Spatial Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Network-Based Spatial Analysis

Network-based spatial analysis (NBSA) analyzes the distribution and interaction of spatial phenomena constrained to a network structure — such as roads, railways, or rivers — using network distance rather than straight-line (Euclidean) distance. It is the appropriate framework whenever movement, proximity, or risk is governed by the underlying network topology rather than open space.
