Introduction
• GIS provides:– comprehensive set of tools for
environmental data management– limited spatial analysis functionality– but does provides framework of application
• limited spatial analysis functionality may be addressed by linking models into GIS
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 3
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Spatial modelling issues
• Model problems:– most models do not provide tools for data
management and display, etc.– many models are aspatial
• GIS provides:– framework of application– allows user to add spatial dimension (if not
already built into the model)
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 4
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
GIS-able models
• Types of models applicable to integration with GIS include:– certain aspatial models
• black box models• lumped models
– all spatial models • distributed models
– temporal models
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 5
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Linking models to GIS
• Two basic methods of integrating models into the GIS framework:– soft or loose coupling
• models and GIS are linked via file transfer
– hard or tight coupling• models and GIS are linked directly through
sharing common database• model programmed using GIS macros and
functions
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 6
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Creating the link
• How models are integrated into a GIS depends on:– the type model itself– the flexibility of the GIS as a modelling
environment– the time and resources available
• Fuzzy boundary between loose and tight coupling

Example
• GIS-based gas dispersion model– requirements:
• an emergency planning decision support system is required for accident planning involving releases of chlorine gas from chemical plants
• a dense gas dispersion model needs to be linked to a GIS to enable predictions of gas dispersion to be integrated with environmental data to assist in emergency planning procedures
– loose or tight coupling?
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 10
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Questions…
• Which model?
• Which GIS?
• Which data?
• What level of coupling?
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 11
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Loose coupling approach
1. identify point of release (POR) and conditions of release (COR)
2. input POR and COR variables to model via keyboard input
3. run model
4. pass model results to GIS via file exchange
5. create model results data layer in GIS
6. integrate (overlay) with other data layers
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 12
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Tight coupling approach
1. identify POR and COR2. run model
• create POR and COR layers• model accesses GIS database directly for
inputs at every increment of the model run to update basis for predictions
• model creates new data layer in GIS database describing results
3. integrate (overlay) model results with other data layers

GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Modelling testing
• Testing models– verifying model output can present certain
problems for the user– especially true if :
• the model is complicated• two or more models are used• the data used is complex or of dubious accuracy or both!• long timescales are involved• the model is of the black box variety or if the user is
unfamiliar with its workings
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 15
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Example
• RUNMOD – a lumped catchment model of the hydrological
cycle• lumped input: precipitation• lumped storage: soil store, groundwater store, channel
store• lumped output: evapotranspiration, runoff
– parameters governing infiltration, through flow, percolation, etc. can be altered to improve modelled outputs compared to measured outputs
– this is a process known as calibration
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 16
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Questions…
• What are the advantages of model calibration?
• How could this particular model be integrated into a GIS framework?
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 17
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Modelling guidelines
• In order to ensure that model results are as close to reality as possible the following guidelines apply:– ensure data quality – beware of making too many assumptions– match model complexity with process complexity – compare predicted results with empirical data
where possible and adjust model parameters and constants to improve goodness of fit
– use results with care!
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 18

Basics of cartographic modelling
• Mathematics applied to raster maps– often referred to as map algebra or
‘mapematics’– e.g. combination of maps by:
• addition• subtraction• multiplication• division, etc.
– operations on single or multiple layers
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 19

A definition
“A generic means of expressing and organising the methods by which
spatial variables and spatial operations are selected and used
to develop a GIS model”

Question…
• How determine topological relationships?i.e. Boolean: AND, NOT, OR, XOR
• What is the arithmetic equivalent?
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 22
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Building spatial models
• It is (in theory) surprisingly simple:– algebraic combination of:
• OPERATORS and FUNCTIONS• rules and relationships• inputs (and outputs)
– interfaces• run at the command line/menu interface• batch file• embedded in system macro/script• ‘hard’ programmed into system
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 23
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Problems in model building
• knowledge– systems and processes– relationships and rules
• compatability– input data available– outputs required
• quality issues– data quality (accuracy, appropriateness, etc.)– model assumptions and generalisation– confidence and communication
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 24
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4
Modelling in Arc/Info GRID
• Four basic categories of functions in map algebra:– local– focal– zonal– global
• Operate on user specified input grid(s) to produce an output grid, the cell values in which are a function of a value or values in the input grid(s)
Lecture 4 GEOG5060 - GIS and Environment 25
GEOG5060GIS &
EnvironmentLecture 4Local functions
• Output value of each cell is a function of the corresponding input value at each location– value NOT location determines result– e.g. arithmetic operations and reclassification– full list of local functions in GRID is enormous
• Trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic • Reclassification and selection• Logical expressions in GRID• Operands and logical operators• Connectors• Statistical• Other local functions

GEOG5060GIS &

Focal functions
• Output value of each cell location is a function of the value of the input cells in the specified neighbourhood of each location
• Type of neighbourhood function– various types of neighbourhood:
• 3 x 3 cell or other– calculate mean, SD, sum, range, max, min,
etc.

Neighbourhood filters
• Type of focal function– used for processing of remotely sensed image
data– change value of target cell based on values of a
set of neighbouring pixels within the filter– size, shape and characteristics of filter?– filtering of raster data
• supervised using established classes• unsupervised based on values of other pixels within
specified filter and using certain rules (diversity, frequency, average, minimum, maximum, etc.)

• Output value at each location depends on the values of all the input cells in an input value grid that shares the same input value zone
• Type of complex neighbourhood function– use complex neighbourhoods or zones– calculate mean, SD, sum, range, max, min, etc.

Global functions
• Output value of each location is potentially a function of all the cells in the input grid– e.g. distance functions, surfaces, interpolation, etc.– Again, full list of global functions in GRID is
enormous• euclidean distance functions• weighted distance functions• surface functions• hydrologic and groundwater functions• multivariate.

Distance functions
• Simple distance functions– calculate the linear distance of a cell from a
target cell(s) such as point, line or area– use different distance decay functions
• linear• non-linear (curvilinear, stepped, exponential,
root, etc.)– use target weighted functions– use cost surfaces
