Box 10.5 Spatial Query and Spatial Join Tools In ArcGis Th hree tools are available in ArcGIS for spatial query and/or spatial join. The first is Join in the context menu of a layer, which is limited to the closest relationship in. spatial join. The second is Select by Location in the Se- lect menu, which uses 15 spatial relationships to select features but does not join data. The third is Spatial Join in the Analysis/Overlay toolset of ArcToolBox, which can perform queries using all spatial relationships cov- ered by the other two tools and, additionally, can join data. A total of 18 spatial relationships are listed in the Spatial Join dialog to relate join features (features to be selected in a join operation) to target features (features for selection). These 18 spatial relationships may be subdivided by the concepts of containment, intersect, and proximity/adjacency: . Containment: "within." "completely within." "within_Clementini)," "contains," "completely_ contains," "contains_Clementini," and "have their center in." • Intersect: "intersect," "intersect_3d)," and "crossed_by_the_outline_of." Proximity/adjacency/identical: "within_a_dis- tance," "within_a_distance_3d)." "within_a_ distance_geodesic)," "share_a_line_segment_ with," "boundary_touches," "are_identical_to," "closest," and "closest_geodesic." circle, or the shortest distance on the Earth's surface. "Geodesic" distance is measured along the great "3d" refers to 3-D features such as buildings. The dif- ference between "contain" and "contain_Clementini" occurs when join features are on the boundary but not the interior of target features; "contain" does not include these features as selected, whereas "contain_ Clementini" does. Some relationships can only apply to one or two types of features. For example, "bound- ary_touches" applies to line and polygon features but not point features.
