  1. Environmental GIS Nicholas A. Procopio, Ph.D, GISP nick@drexel.edu

  2. Question? • Can we develop a measure of habitat integrity using land-cover data? • What is the best way to evaluate this? • What spatial tools will accommodate this analysis? Spatial analysis toolbox

  3. Land-use/Land-cover data (2007)

  4. …and rasterized!!!!

  5. Notice the pixelization.

  6. Spatial Analyses • Reclassify • Reclassifies (or changes) the values in a raster. • Reclass cover types as habitat (1) or nonhabitat (0)

  7. Spatial Analyses • Focal Stat. • Calculates for each input cell location a statistic of the values within a specified neighborhood around it.

  8. Sum all the pixels in a 1000 meter radius surrounding each pixel. • This value can than be normalized as a percentage of the maximum possible.

  9. Focal Statistic Output

  10. Intermediate steps… • Convert to float values. {Float} Converts each cell value of a raster into a floating-point representation. (continuous value to floating point values). • Recalculate as a percentage of window maximum. {Divide} • Window max = 100 pixels radius, pi*100^2 = 31417 pixels

  11. Focal Statistic Output, as a percentage 100 habitat integrity? 0

  12. X {times} 0/1 data Cell value habitat integrity less altered lands

  13. Reclassify decimal values to categories.
