About the Book

The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is a rapidly growing and important field of Information Science. To date, most publication has been concerned with the technological and methodological development of the systems themselves, and relatively little attention has been paid to the practical applications and interpretation of results that the powerful techniques of GIS produce. The aim of this book is to present "state of the art" examples of GIS in practice to demonstrate how the new powerful manipulation possible with the systems available of spatial and areal data at a variety of scales, resolutions, and levels can produce solutions to practical planning and management problems in the human and natural environment, as well as enabling the development of new research directions. Contributions have been obtained from the leading workers in GIS from around the world to produce the most up to date and wide ranging survey of the field from a practical point of biew. This is both a manual of precept and practice for planners and environmental managers who use GIS in their work and a text book for academic researchers who wish to keep abreast of the most exciting developments in the field.
