Overview
The use of Geographic Information Systems in Environmental Management has seen unprecedented growth in the last ten years. While the expanding of GIS system memories, researchers can handle much larger geographic environment data. As more and more GIS application cases used in environmental – related research works, this technology has been developed and improved as well. Geographic information systems provide a great deal of information and analytical capacity for people’s understanding of how human’s activities impact on the environment. In this book, topics covered land use sustainability, natural resources management and planning, novel modelling methods for environment and geography, environmental management assessment tools and decision-making approaches. Research areas in this book included Europe, North America and East Asia.
