A theoretical and practical approach is presented for extending both the Mahalanobis and the Euclidean distances to spatially correlated data. Departing from the consideration that in some cases the choice of a particular distance is suggested by the nature of the data, we propose new measures of distance for spatial observations based on the distances between the interpretative models of the data. An application to the banking deposits of the Italian provinces in 1995 is given.
