Network Analysis Using GIS Praveen Kumar Rai, Prince Kumar Singh, Abhishek Kumar Singh, Kshitij Mohan Department of Geography, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India ________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Network Analysis helps in identifying optimum locations for services to be provided. In the present study, hospitals and road in part of Varanasi city area have been selected for network Analysis. Complicated networks of roads require analysis to improve the movement of people, goods, services and the flow of resources. To demonstrate the use of network analysis, this paper focused on determining the optimal route between two or more destinations based on a specific travel expense. Geographical Information System (GIS) software is used to determine the quickest way or the shortest way between those locations. The attribute data of the road network is collected to develop the database of road network and an optimum route. An optimal route representing the total cost of route in meters as well as in minutes are developed. The result of analysis includes the directions to travel on that route.

Human activities and more generally the phenomena related to human behaviour take place in a network-constrained subset of the geographical space. These phenomena can be expressed as locations having their positions configured by a road network, as address points with street numbers. Although these events are considered as points on a network, point pattern analysis and the techniques implement...
