Digitization was carried by using Shape file generated for different analysis. ArcGIS based Network Analysis provide multiple solution. The network analysis tool was used to measure the efficiency of services in terms of time and distance. It also help in analyzing the gap existing in the facility, and defining service areas based on travel time and distance covered. The present study tries to analyze the potential use of network analysis Nainital of the Kumaon region. district of Nainital lies in the Kumaun division. Different stretches of roads in Nainital are maintained by NNPP and PWD. The traffic flow in the town causes congestion as there is limited road space available.Most of the internal roads are single lane with a few exceptions. Pedestrian movement in the town is affected because of the absence of footpaths. Keywords: Efficiency, GIS, Network Analysis, Services. 1. INTRODUCTION: A network is a system of liner feature that has the appropriate attribute for the flow of objects. A network is a system of interconnected elements, such as lines connecting points. Examples of networks include highways connecting to cities, streets interconnected to each other at street intersections, and sewer and A GIS function called network analysis was used to calculate the time necessary for emergency vehicles to travel from the fire stations to different areas of the city. One major application of network analysis is found in transportation planning, where the issue might be to find paths corresponding to certain criteria like finding the shortest or least cost path between two or more locations, or to find all locations within a given travel cost from a specified origin. Traditionally, a GIS, represents the real world in either one of two spatial models, vector-based, i.e. points, lines and polygons, or raster-based, i.e. cells of a continuous grid surface. This study will investigate the subject of network analysis in both raster and vector GIS, in order to compare the two spatial models. Network analysis is useful for organization that manages or uses networked facilities, such as utility, transmission, and transport systems. Municipal public works department use network to model, analyze bus and trash routes, whereas businesses use them to plan and optimize the delivery of goods and services. Network analysis can also be applied to retail store planning. For instance, solving of the driving times can aid in the determination of retail store trade areas. Network instance, solving of the driving times can aid in the determination of retail store planning. For instance, solving of the driving times can aid in the determination of retail store trade areas. Therefore network provides the movement of people and goods, the delivery of services the flow of services as well as communication of information. Three Principal types of network analysis are network tracing, network routing and network Allocation 2. NETWORK TRACING: Network tracing determines a particular path through the network. This Path is based on Criteria provided by the user. 2.1 NETWORK ROUTING: Network routing determines the optimal path along a linear network. The selection of the Path can be based on numerous criteria such as Dzshortest distance,dz Dzfastest route,dz Dzno left turnsdz and minimum cost.dz The path can pass between two points or through several selected Points.
