Phil,

You should look onto sp package which is the base for any other
spatial packages in R
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sp/index.html

Also notice Reverse depends section where you can find a lot of
useful packages for spatial operations and analysis.

For loading shape files, maptools, rgdal and similar packages will help you.

You can read on-line Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R
http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-0-387-78171-6#section=147788page=1
which contains a lot of examples to work and analyze spatial data in R
(the authors of the book are also the authors of sp and other
spatial packages in R)

Very important package is rgeos that contains all GIS functions:
covers, intersects, inside, 

You can also find ideas in
Clemens Reimann - Statistical Data Analysis Explained. Applied
Environmental Statistics with R – 2008
(however it does not contain R code)

 Good morning,

 I am a student whom is currently working on a term project for my GIS
 Program. I am looking for a software package which can aid me in my
 project,
 and I was curious if R would be able to address my goals.

 My project includes  power outage data from a hydro company (point data,
 with UTM coordinates attached), which is available in an Access database,
 or
 in a Shapefile.

 I would like to be able to take this poweroutage data, and then perform a
 spatial analysis of this data, perhaps as a hot-spot analysis, or in a
 points per raster square style analysis.

 With the completed analysis, I would like to be able to use an open source
 web mapping platform to display it for the 'company' I am performing this
 for as part of my project.


 Any insight you could provide me would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

 Thanks,

 Phil


Kind regards,
Antonio Rodriges

It sounds quite possible but you'll probably get more specialized help
if you ask on the r-sig-geo mailing list.

Not my area of expertise, but if you go to your favorite CRAN mirror and look 
at the task views, you will find info on spatial analysis.  Also, Googling 'R 
GIS' brings up a ton of hits.

Good luck,
