Spatial Datascience and ArcGIS

Geo-ICT Training Center, Netherlands - Spatial Datascience with ArcGIS Pro

Spatial data science is a fast-growing field that combines data science with geospatial technology to help us understand the world in new and deeper ways. By analyzing and modeling location-based data, it reveals patterns, trends, and relationships that would otherwise go unnoticed. Unlike traditional data analysis, spatial data science brings a crucial dimension into the picture—geography. This spatial context is what enables smarter decision-making in everything from city planning and transportation to climate adaptation and disaster response.

At the core of this discipline are advanced techniques such as geostatistics, machine learning, and spatial modeling. These allow professionals to move beyond simply describing what’s happening and start predicting what might happen next. Tools like kriging, spatial clustering, and regression models help convert raw geospatial data into clear, actionable insights.

ArcGIS Pro, developed by Esri, brings all these capabilities together in a powerful, user-friendly platform. It supports sophisticated analysis and visualization workflows, making it an essential tool in industries like urban planning, environmental management, logistics, and public safety. As more organizations rely on spatial data to guide decisions, the demand for skilled professionals in this field continues to rise.

Geo-ICT’s “Spatial Data Science with ArcGIS Pro” course is designed to meet that need. It offers a practical, hands-on introduction to the core tools, concepts, and techniques of spatial data science—preparing you to tackle real-world challenges with confidence.

No prior experience with ArcGIS? No problem — we recommend starting with our ArcGIS Desktop Basics course to build a strong foundation.

What will you learn

In this course, you’ll develop a deep, working knowledge of spatial data science and how to apply it in ArcGIS Pro. Through guided instruction and hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to uncover spatial patterns using techniques like kriging and point pattern analysis. You’ll explore how to use machine learning—specifically classification, regression, and clustering—to analyze geospatial data and make informed predictions.

As the course progresses, you’ll build predictive models that help forecast spatial trends, based on current and historical data. You’ll also get practical experience with network analysis, an essential method for optimizing routes and understanding how locations are connected—particularly useful in fields like logistics and transport planning.

Data visualization plays a key role, and you’ll become confident designing maps and dashboards that make complex findings clear and accessible. By combining analysis with storytelling, you’ll learn to communicate your insights in a way that drives action.

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to solve complex spatial problems and present your results effectively—turning raw data into real value for your organization or community.

    Course structure

    Day 1

    You’ll start with the basics of spatial data science and get familiar with the tools ArcGIS Pro offers for spatial analysis. In the morning, we cover key geostatistical techniques, including kriging and point pattern analysis—methods that help you understand and model spatial variation.

    In the afternoon, the focus shifts to foundational machine learning concepts like classification, regression, and clustering. You’ll explore how these methods apply to spatial data and begin working through practical examples using ArcGIS Pro.

    Day 2

    The second day dives into more advanced topics. You’ll explore machine learning techniques tailored for spatial data, such as spatial regression and decision trees. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to evaluate model performance and interpret results with confidence.

    Later, we turn to spatial storytelling—learning how to design clear, impactful maps that communicate your findings visually. The day wraps up with a real-world case study, where you’ll bring all your skills together to solve a complex geospatial problem from start to finish.
