Product Description
This introduction to urban planning applications and problem solving with GIS is appropriate for students and professionals in the fields of geography, urban studies, urban planning, urban public health, urban environmental assessment, and hazard and emergency management. Technical jargon is minimized while the analytical concepts are fully described, enabling full use and understanding of GIS techniques. Infused in the included laboratory exercises are real-world activities that are often required in urban GIS projects but rarely included in prepared lab work, such as data acquisition, integrating data into the GIS, and manipulation of real data. Project design and analysis methodologies are also demonstrated with real-life examples of urban GIS projects. |

Great reference for GIS by B. Andrews (Irvine, CA)  5 Stars
February 10, 2008
The book is chocked full of great reference material a text book that will make the transition to reference book as soon as your class ends. I purchased it for a class and plan to keep it. It is not a book that teaches you how to use ArcMap, but helps you to think through things like themes, setting scales, deciding projection systems, etc.

| The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis Volume 1: Geographic Patterns & Relationships
by Andy Mitchell (Author)
Spatial analysis is where the GIS rubber hits the road, where all the hard work of digitizing, building a database, checking for errors, and dealing with the details of projections and coordinate systems finally pays off in results and better decisions. But spatial analysis has often seemed inaccessible to many users--too mathematical to understand, too difficult to implement, and lacking in good textbooks and guides. Here at last is the ideal book, written by Andy Mitchell and based on...
