# Spatial Data Analysis

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 location 의 matter — Tobler's First Law"**. 매 가까운 곳 의 더 관련 — 매 spatial autocorrelation 의 측정 / modeling. 1854 Snow's cholera map 에서 시작, 2026 에 epidemiology, urban planning, climate, autonomous driving 의 중심.

## 매 핵심

### 매 data type
- **Vector**: point (city), line (road), polygon (district) — GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoParquet.
- **Raster**: gridded (satellite imagery, DEM, climate) — GeoTIFF, Zarr, COG (Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF).
- **Network**: routable graphs (road, transit) — OSMnx, pgRouting.
- **Trajectory**: time-stamped points — MovingPandas.

### 매 operation
- **Spatial join**: 매 polygon 안 의 point 의 매칭.
- **Buffer**: 매 distance d 만큼 의 surround region.
- **Overlay**: intersection, union, difference.
- **Reprojection**: CRS (coordinate reference system) — WGS84, UTM, Web Mercator.
- **Aggregation**: pixel/zone 별 statistics.

### 매 statistic
- **Moran's I**: 매 global spatial autocorrelation — Tobler's law 의 측정.
- **Getis-Ord G\***: 매 local hotspot — 매 cluster 의 위치 의 발견.
- **Variogram / Kriging**: 매 spatial interpolation — geostatistics.
- **Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR)**: 매 spatially-varying coefficients.

## 💻 패턴

### 1. GeoPandas — vector load + filter
```python
import geopandas as gpd
gdf = gpd.read_file("districts.geojson").to_crs("EPSG:3857")  # Web Mercator
seoul = gdf[gdf["name"].str.contains("Seoul")]
```

### 2. Spatial join — points in polygons
```python
points = gpd.read_file("incidents.csv")
joined = gpd.sjoin(points, gdf, how="left", predicate="within")
counts = joined.groupby("district").size()
```

### 3. Buffer + overlay
```python
roads = gpd.read_file("roads.shp")
buffer_500m = roads.buffer(500)  # CRS 가 meters 인 경우
flood = gpd.read_file("flood.geojson")
risk = gpd.overlay(buffer_500m, flood, how="intersection")
```

### 4. Moran's I (PySAL)
```python
from libpysal.weights import Queen
from esda.moran import Moran
w = Queen.from_dataframe(gdf)
moran = Moran(gdf["income"], w)
print(moran.I, moran.p_sim)  # autocorrelation + permutation p-value
```

### 5. Local hotspot (Getis-Ord G*)
```python
from esda.getisord import G_Local
g = G_Local(gdf["crime"], w, transform="R")
gdf["z"] = g.Zs
# 매 z>2.58 → 매 99% hotspot
```

### 6. Raster — Rasterio + xarray
```python
import rioxarray
da = rioxarray.open_rasterio("landsat.tif", masked=True)
ndvi = (da.sel(band=4) - da.sel(band=3)) / (da.sel(band=4) + da.sel(band=3))
ndvi.rio.to_raster("ndvi.tif")
```

### 7. Kriging interpolation
```python
from pykrige.ok import OrdinaryKriging
ok = OrdinaryKriging(x, y, z, variogram_model="spherical")
grid_z, _ = ok.execute("grid", gridx, gridy)
```

### 8. STAC + COG (cloud-native, 2026)
```python
import pystac_client
import stackstac
catalog = pystac_client.Client.open("https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v1")
items = catalog.search(collections=["sentinel-2-l2a"], bbox=bbox).item_collection()
stack = stackstac.stack(items, assets=["B04", "B08"])  # 매 lazy xarray
```

### 9. H3 hexagonal indexing (Uber)
```python
import h3
hexes = [h3.latlng_to_cell(lat, lng, resolution=9) for lat, lng in coords]
# 매 hex aggregation 으로 zone-based stats
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Vector ops | GeoPandas / Shapely |
| Raster ops | Rasterio / rioxarray / xarray |
| Cloud-scale (TB+) | STAC + COG + Dask |
| Hotspot detection | Getis-Ord G* |
| Continuous interpolation | Kriging |
| Discrete zoning / aggregation | H3 / S2 cells |
| Routing | OSMnx / pgRouting |
| Visualization | Folium, Kepler.gl, Deck.gl |

**기본값**: GeoPandas + EPSG:4326 → ops 시 projected CRS (UTM/3857) → ESDA (PySAL) for stats.

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: place-name geocoding 의 disambiguation, narrative description of spatial pattern, OSM tag interpretation.
**언제 X**: 매 numerical kriging, projection — 매 dedicated geospatial library 의 사용.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Mixing CRS without conversion**: meters + degrees 의 mix → 매 silent error.
- **Web Mercator for area calc**: distortion at high latitudes → 매 equal-area projection (Mollweide, Equal Earth) 의 사용.
- **Ignoring spatial autocorrelation in regression**: OLS assumption 의 violation → GWR / spatial lag model.
- **Rasterizing then re-vectorizing**: precision loss — 매 vector ops 의 가능 시 매 vector 의 유지.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (PySAL docs, *Geocomputation with Python* — Lovelace et al., USGS standards).
- 신뢰도 A.
