I read similair questions but I couldnt figure out the answer yet..
What I have:
-A fire polygon set with information about each year and the area
-A second polygon set consisting of a lot of small polygons
I did an identity overlay to get the fires per small polygon. Then I created new layers for each year. Now I have the fire polygons
for all years needed per small polygon
What I want:
I need to calculate the area of the fires for every small polygon (per year).
I know how to do this manually (select all fires in small polygon and go to summarize area) but since I have a lot of small polygons I need to do this automatically. Any suggestions on how to do this?
I read about the Geospatial Environment Model option (but I cannot make it work) and about the Hawths Analysis tool which unfortunately is not available for ArcGIS10 anymore.
Thanks for the help and suggestions!!
