Abstract
With tremendous development in the field of science and technology, there is vast amount of data which are used in analytics for decision making. Considering its spatial characteristics for mining will enhance the accuracy of decision. So, obtaining knowledge from spatial data becomes very essential and meaningful. The spatial database contains very numerous amounts of spatial and non-spatial data of different forms. Interpretation and analyzing of vast data is far beyond human ability. In order to acquire knowledge on such scenario we need spatial data mining. The challenges involved in spatial mining are to deal with different objects that represent the spatial characteristics. This makes spatial data mining a dominant research field. This chapter briefs about the characteristics of spatial data mining and the methods of spatial data mining in recent years.
