Least-cost Path Analysis

Least-Cost Path Analysis is a spatial modeling method that identifies the most efficient route between locations across a landscape by minimizing accumulated movement or dispersal costs, distinguished from other pathfinding techniques through its reliance on a cost-weighted distance surface derived from landscape resistance.
