This engaging and practical guide is a much-needed new textbook
that illustrates the power of geographic information systems (GIS)
and spatial analysis. Today's planner has a wealth of data
available to them, much of which is increasingly linked to a
specific location. From football clubs to Twitter conversations,
government spending to the spread of diseases - data can be mapped.
Once mapped, the data begins to tell stories, patterns are
revealed, and effective planning decisions can be made. When used
effectively, GIS allows students, planners, residents and
policymakers to solve wicked problems in the environment, society
and the economy. Geospatial data is now more freely available than
it ever has been, as is much of the necessary software to analyse
it. This contemporary text offers a practical guide to spatial
analysis and what it can show us. In addition to explaining what
GIS is and why it is such a powerful tool, the authors cover such
topics as geovisualization, mapping principles, network analysis
and decision making. Offering more than just theoretical or
technical principles and concepts, the book applies GIS techniques
to the real world, draws on global examples and provides practical
advice on mapping the built environment. This accessible text is
essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students
taking planning modules on GIS, data analysis and mapping, as well
as for all planners, urbanists and geographers with an interest in
how GIS can help us better understand the built environment from a
socio-economic perspective.
