Linking People, Place, and Policy: A GIScience Approach
describes a breadth of research associated with the study of
human-environment interactions, with particular emphasis on land
use and land cover dynamics. This book examines the social,
biophysical, and geographical drivers of land use and land cover
patterns and their dynamics, which are interpreted within a
policy-relevant context. Concepts, tools, and techniques within
Geographic Information Science serve as the unifying methodological
framework in which landscapes in Thailand, Ecuador, Kenya,
Cambodia, China, Brazil, Nepal, and the United States are examined
through analyses conducted using quantitative, qualitative, and
image-based techniques.
Linking People, Place, and Policy: A GIScience Approach
addresses a need for a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of
GIScience for research and study within the context of
human-environment interactions. The human dimensions research
community, land use and land cover change programs, and human and
landscape ecology communities, among others, are collectively
viewing the landscape within a spatially-explicit perspective,
where people are viewed as agents of landscape change that shape
and are shaped by the landscape, and where landscape form and
function are assessed within a space-time context. This book
articulates some of these challenges and opportunities.
