Abstract: | This article considers two types of tools used for the analysis of spatial data: computational tools for grid data and visualization-based interactive exploratory techniques. The main purpose is to demonstrate that computational and visual techniques are complementary, and their combined use in data analysis may produce a synergistic effect. To this end, we describe two example scenarios of data analysis in the evaluation of potential damage from earthquakes and in analysis of forest resources. The analyses were performed with the use of CommonGIS, featuring the availability of powerful geocomputational tools and interactive visualization-related facilities that can be efficiently used in combination in a desktop environment or via the World Wide Web. |
