Abstract 

The article demonstrates the use of the Spatial Analyst Tools module in ArcGIS for analyzing urban settlement networks on the example of Ivano-Frankivsk region. Using the density tools, we have created road density maps of the region, calculated the Euclidean distance from the main roads and urban settlements of the region. Also, the maps of population density and urbanization level of the region were developed.
