GIS for Environmental Decision-Making

GIS for Environmental Decision-Making

Environmental applications have long been a core use of GIS. However the effectiveness of GIS-based methods depends on the decision-making frameworks and contexts within which they are employed. GIS for Environmental Decision-Making takes an interdisciplinary look at the capacities of GIS to integrate analyze and display data on which decisions must be based. It provides a broad prospective on the current state of GIS for environmental decision-making and emphasizes the importance of matters related to data analysis and modeling tools as well as stakeholder participation. The book is divided into three sections which effectively relate to three key aspects of the decision-making process as supported by GIS: data required tools being developed and aspects of participation. The first section stresses the ability to integrate data from different sources as a defining characteristic of GIS and illustrates the benefits that this can bring in the context of deriving land-use and other information. The second section discusses a range of issues concerning the use of GIS for suitability mapping and strategic planning exercises through illustrative examples. The last section of the book focuses on the use of GIS-based techniques to facilitate public participation in decision-making processes. In particular it provides an overview of developments in this area concentrating on how GIS modeling and 3D landscape visualization techniques are gradually achieving closer integration. Given the complex challenges presented by global environmental change GIS for Environmental Decision-Making provides a clear illustration of how the use of GIS can make significant contributions to trans-disciplinary initiatives to address environmental problems.

Strategic GIS Planning and Management in Local Government

Strategic GIS Planning and Management in Local Government

This how-to book on planning and managing GIS within local government describes and details the key components of a successful enterprise sustainable and enduring GIS. It describes the strategic planning process an organization must undertake prior to GIS implementation. The heart of the book is the formula for success that offers a systematic methodology for examining and benchmarking a GIS initiative and the practical and repeatable strategy for success. There are many obstacles to successful GIS implementation and unfortunately the local government landscape is riddled with false starts poorly planned implementations and glorified mapping systems. This book documents the reason for failure and possible remedies to overcome the challenges to implementation. It discusses pathways to change ways of improving organizational effectiveness and efficiency and lays out the organizational approaches management processes and leadership actions that are required for GIS to become an indispensable part of an organization. This book is about aiming high so you can consistently hit your mark by formulating goals and objectives that will tremendously influence the success of a GIS initiative. It details the factors crucial for building an enterprise GIS vision statement that includes governance data and databases procedures and workflow GIS software GIS training and education and infrastructure and how to develop performance measures related to the stated objectives of an organization. The book combines theory with real-world experience to offer guidance on the process of managing GIS implementation. Through key components this book introduces a new way to think about GIS technology. | Strategic GIS Planning and Management in Local Government

Advances in Web-based GIS Mapping Services and Applications

Advances in Web-based GIS Mapping Services and Applications is published as part of ISPRS WG IV/5 effort and aims at presenting (1) Recent technological advancements e. g. new developments under Web 2. 0 map mashups neogeography and the like; (2) Balanced theoretical discussions and technical implementations; (3) Commentary on the current stages of development; and (4) Prediction of developments over the next decade. Containing 21 contributions from 60 researchers active within ISPRS communities most of them from academia and some from governments the book covers a wide range of topics related to the state-of-the-art in web mapping/GIS and geographic information services. The volume is organized in five sections: 1. Analytical and Geospatial Services; 2. Performance; 3. Augmentation and LBS; 4. Collaboration and Decision Making and 5. Open Standards for Geospatial Services. Supported by a considerable number of technical details and examples an overall view of the current achievements and progress made in the field of web-based GIS and mapping services is given. The chapters reflect timely and future developments addressing: constant updating of related web and geospatial technologies as well as the revolution of web mapping caused by mainstream IT vendors such as Google Yahoo and Microsoft; increased interest from industry on geo-spatial information technologies; and increasing demand from the general public for prompt and effective spatial information services. Advances in Web-based GIS Mapping Services and Applications will appeal to academia and researchers application specialists and developers practitioners and undergraduate and graduate students interested in distributed and web-based geoinformation systems and applications geodatabases and digital mapping.

Spatial Mathematics Theory and Practice through Mapping

Spatial Mathematics Theory and Practice through Mapping

In terms of statistics GIS offers many connections. With GIS data are gathered displayed summarized examined and interpreted to discover patterns. Spatial Mathematics: Theory and Practice through Mapping uses GIS as a platform to teach mathematical concepts and skills through visualization of numbers. It examines theory and practice from disparate academic disciplines such as geography mathematics physics and general social science. This approach allows students to grapple with biodiversity crime natural hazards climate energy water and other relevant real-world issues of the twenty-first century. Includes QR Codes Linked to Animated Maps a Mapping Activity Site or to an Interactive Webpage Creating an Interactive Resource That Stays RelevantThe book integrates competing philosophical views of the world: synthesis and analysis. These two approaches yield different results and employ different tools. This book considers both approaches to looking at real-world issues that have mathematics as a critical but often unseen component. This approach shows readers how to use mathematics to consider the broad problem at hand and to explore diverse realms in the worlds of geography and mathematics and in their interface. A truly interdisciplinary text the book bridges the worlds of mathematics and geography and demonstrates how they are inextricably linked. It takes advantage of the convergence in citizen science STEM education and mapping that help readers become critical consumers of data—understanding its content quality limitations and benefits. It provides thorough grounding in the analytical statistical and computational skills required for working in any field that uses geospatial technologies—not just surveyors and remote sensing analysts. | Spatial Mathematics Theory and Practice through Mapping
