Geographic Information Management in Local Government (Hardcover, New)

Local government professionals engaged in a wide range of tasks need to understand the development of potential applications of GIS. Awareness is growing of the benefits that GIS can bring to a wide range of local authorities and in a number of ways.
The book describes a series of representative case studies taken from a variety of authorities in the UK. In each instance it examines what triggered the authority's initial decision to adopt GIS, explores the types of problems that it encountered and highlights a number of areas of best practice. It reviews the capabilities and limitations of existing techniques, considers the human factors that affect the take-up of GIS (including consideration of training needs), and explores the future of GIS in local government.
It will appeal to all those considering a new GIS or developing the future of GIS in Local government.
