Nearest Neighbour Analysis and Calculation of Nearest Neighbour Index

 


  • Nearest neighbour Analysis is a method of quantifying the spatial distribution of rural settlements (types) on a geographical space based on certain theoretical distribution (Randomness). 
  • It considers the linear distance between two or more specified neighbouring locations.
  • It is a technique of analysing the distribution pattern of points on the geographical space. 
  • Nearest Neighbour Analysis is based on the technique called Nearest Neighbour Index (NNI), which is the ratio of the observed mean distance between cluster of buildings/settlements and the expected mean distance derived from random distribution.
