Spatial statistics will allow you to answer the following questions about your data:

• How are the features distributed?
• What is the pattern created by the features?
• Where are the clusters?
• How do patterns and clusters of different variables compare on one another?
• What are the relationships between sets of features or values?

Geographical Information System (GIS) is widely used as a valuable tool for the management, analysis, and presentation of various and great volumes of data, as well as different local planning activities.
