It also ensures safety as some emergencies can be solved with faster and easier internet access just like some opportunities can be earned.

The third image was done with ESRI's ArcGIS using the spatial analyst and arcscene extensions. The fourth picture was with our own spatial analysis tool that we are hoping to relaunch in the near future. SpatialKey has similar web based spatial analysis tools currently. There is a decent overview on spatial analysis here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_analysis For the kernel density maps above this gives a good if technical overview: http://www.spatialanalysisonline.com/output/html/Pointdensity.html Hope that helps. best, sean Thanks Andy

Do you have any suggestions for other sources of information such as data models or analysis methodologies such as the ones depicted in your post? Thanks Sean, very insightful and informative.
