Produktbeschreibung

Applied Spatial Modelling and Planning shows how much geographical research is policy relevant to a wide variety of agencies through the use of GIS and spatial modelling in applied geography. It shows how these techniques have been used to address 'real world' issues that are of concern to international organisations, public agencies and businesses as illustrated by actual funded projects that geographers have developed collaboratively with end-users.
