Spatial Information for Land Use Management by Hill, Michael J. & Aspinall, Richard J. (editors) - 2000

Amsterdam: Gordon and Breach, 2000. A few illustrations and charts, octavo, pp xxviii, 224, extremely clean internally, the laminated boards are faded on the spine and a little on the covers, otherwise virtually as new. [Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, and environmental modelling are increasingly being used to address land use and land use management issues although much of the development in these applications is based in specific case studies that are not readily accessible to a wide audience. Spatial Information for Land Use Management is designed as a reference that provides a description and discussion of the issues involved in the use of spatial information for land use management. The chapters include detailed examples of the use of spatial information in land use management. The book begins with the technological methods, examines applications in a variety of environments, and describes the ways in which issues of scale, uncertainty, linkage of models and GIS, and problem solution have been addressed.].
