This exploration of geographic information and geographic information systems (GIS) expands the discussion beyond the normal input-processing-output sequence. It uses case studies to examine the various applications of each type of geographic information.
Omschrijving
This revision builds upon the strength of the highly successful first edition. The organizing framework for Exploring Geographic Information Systems simultaneously views the subject as a technical problem, as an empowering application, as a scientific endeavor, as an academic pursuit and as a social necessity. The author's philosophy towards teaching a GIS course is to focus on critical thinking. This focus allows students to gain the ability to make judgements concerning the fitness of tools and information sources.
