Reviews for GIS for Sustainable Development

“[This book] aims at driving the GIS community towards a deeper awareness of sustainable development issues in setting research programs and in application design, while on the other hand offering a wide spectrum of tools professionals and practitioners may draw off after they understand how GIS can assist them in spatial planning, management, and decision-making to achieve sustainable development objectives.” Giancarlo Deplano, Università degli Studi di Cagliari “...this book represents the state of the art in the field as it exists today. This is clearly the most up-to-date and definitive book on the subject.” Books-On-Line, 2005
