Python and Geospatial Technology, Spatial Join Lesson (Module 3 of 9)

This video, provided by the GeoTech Center, is from the third module of the Python and Geospatial Mapping course, titled Python and Geospatial Technology. The course is designed for experienced users of Global Information Systems (GIS) platforms who are new to programming, with the goal of teaching them how to use Python to automate processes through the construction of short scripts in ArcGIS Pro.

In this video lesson, Vince DiNoto, the director of the GeoTech Center, provides an overview of the spatial join command in Python. Spatial join, derived from the arcpy module, a geospatial command library included with ArcGIS Pro, counts the number of certain items within a boundary of combined areas. DiNoto guides viewers through an example script featuring the application of this command.

The video runs 4:46 minutes in length. Additional resources from the Python and Geospatial Mapping course are available to view separately.
