Inhaltsangabe:

"Making Spatial Decisions Using GIS" features real-world activities that stress the use of GIS in problem solving and decision making. Designed for high school and college students, the lessons in this book build on the rich array of GIS tools available, enabling the students to perform sophisticated analyses in a variety of content areas, including law enforcement, demographics, and natural disasters. The projects in this book encourage readers to make not only helpful maps but also informed decisions. Each of the five modules include exercises with step-by-step instructions, exercises with less-structured direction, and ideas for independent study.
