Book Description

GIS is used today to better understand and solve urban problems. This book explores and illustrates the capacity that geo-information and GIS have to inform practitioners and other participants in the processes of the planning and management of urban regions.

• Martin van Maarseveen is a full professor in Management of Urban-Regional Dynamics and Head of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and Geo-Information Management at ITC, University of Twente, The Netherlands.

• GIS and Housing: Principles and Practices

  This book provides GIS technicians and analysts with an overview of US housing challenges and examples of how to effectively integrate spatial thinking to address housing policy questions.

• GIS Mapping for Public Safety: ArcGIS Tools and Procedures

  Focuses on Esri's ArcGIS functionality and presents many of the tools and techniques commonly used by public safety researchers, analysts, and practitioners. It gives simple steps for descriptive, exploratory, and explanatory mapping tasks.

• Mapping, Society, and Technology (Steven Manson)

  It is about how to read, use, and create maps. Our exploration of maps will be informed by a contextual understanding of how maps reflect the relationship between society and technology, and how mapping is an essential form of scientific and artistic inquiry.

• Mapping and the Citizen Sensor (Giles Foody, et al)

  The proliferation of inexpensive and highly mobile and location aware devices together with Web 2.0 technology have fostered the emergence of the citizen as a source of data. Mapping activities have benefitted greatly from advances in geoinformation technologies.

• Earth, Space, Environmental Science Explorations with ArcGIS Pro

  This book covers a range of topics in the earth and space sciences, such as plate tectonics, natural hazards, Mars exploration, and climate change. Through a series of hands-on exercises, readers will gain basic competency in Esri's ArcGIS Pro software.

• Advanced Location-Based Technologies and Services

  The book provides information on Location-Based Services (LBSs), including WiFi fingerprinting, geo-crowdsouring, and location privacy as well as application areas such as LBSs for public health, indoor navigation, pedestrian navigation, and advertising.

• Geocomputation with R (Robin Lovelace, et al.)

  This book is for people who want to analyze, visualize and model geographic data with open source software. It is based on R, a statistical programming language that has powerful data processing, visualization, and geospatial capabilities.

• Geographic Data Science with Python (Sergio Rey, et al.)

  Provides the tools, the methods, and the theory to meet the challenges of contemporary data science applied to geographic problems and data, by using geographical and computational reasoning to unlock new insights hidden within data.

• Archaeological 3D GIS (Nicolò Dell'Unto, et al.)

  This book provides archaeologists with a guide to explore and understand the unprecedented opportunities for collecting, visualising, and analysing archaeological datasets in three dimensions, using GIS.

• Linked Data: A Geographic Perspective (Glen Hart, et al)

  Combine Geographic Information from Multiple Sources Using Linked Data - A Practical, Readable Guide for Geographers, Software Engineers, and Laypersons. Organize and describe data that includes geographic content and publish it as Linked Data.

• Earth, Space, Environmental Science Explorations with ArcGIS Pro

  This book covers a range of topics in the earth and space sciences, such as plate tectonics, natural hazards, Mars exploration, and climate change. Through a series of hands-on exercises, readers will gain basic competency in Esri's ArcGIS Pro software.

• The ArcGIS Book: 10 Big Ideas about The Science of Where

  Provide access to hundreds of live maps from the worldwide ArcGIS user community. Each big idea is about the ways that GIS technology can unlock your data to reveal deeper insights and a better understanding of virtually any problem with a geographic dimension.

• Nature of Geographic Information Systems (David DiBiase)

  The purpose of this book is to promote understanding of the Geographic Information Science and Technology enterprise (GIS&T, also known as 'geospatial'). It explores the nature of geographic information.

• An Introductory Textbook on Geographic Information Systems

  This textbook is an introduction to GIS, but most of the chapter's concepts are also applicable to other geotechnologies including remote sensing, global positioning systems (GPS), Internet mapping, and virtual globes.

• Geographic Information System Basics (Jonathan Campbell)

  From the melting of the polar ice caps to privacy issues associated with mapping, this book provides a gentle, yet substantive, introduction to the use and application of digital maps, mapping, and GIS.

• Principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

  This book is designed to provide students in a first or second GIS course with a solid foundation in both GIS concepts and the use of GIS. It strikes a careful balance between GIS concepts and hands-on applications.

• GIS Succinctly (Peter Shaw)

  This book guides you through it all, starting with a detailed examination of the data and processes that constitute the internals of a GIS. It surveys a selection of commercial and open-source software packages, detailing the strengths and weaknesses of each.

• Geospatial Analysis: Principles, Techniques and Software Tools

  This book provides a compehensive guide to concepts, methods and tools, with many examples being provided using a variety of software tools such as ArcGIS, Idrisi, Grass, Surfer and many others to clarify the concepts discussed

• Geospatial Analysis with Python (Ujaval Gandhi)

  Suitable for GIS practitioners with no programming background or python knowledge. The course will introduce basic Python programming concepts, libraries for spatial analysis, geospatial APIs and techniques for building spatial data processing pipelines.
