Today's planner has a wealth of data available to them, much of which is increasingly linked to a specific location. From football clubs to Twitter conversations, government spending to the spread of diseases - data can be mapped. Once mapped, the data begins to tell stories, patterns are revealed, and effective planning decisions can be made. When used effectively, GIS allows students, planners, residents and policymakers to solve wicked problems in the environment, society and the economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeospatial data is now more freely available than it ever has been, as is much of the necessary software to analyse it. This contemporary text offers a practical guide to spatial analysis and what it can show us. In addition to explaining what GIS is and why it is such a powerful tool, the authors cover such topics as geovisualization, mapping principles, network analysis and decision making. Offering more than just theoretical or technical principles and concepts, the book applies GIS techniques to the real world, draws on global examples and provides practical advice on mapping the built environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis accessible text is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking planning modules on GIS, data analysis and mapping, as well as for all planners, urbanists and geographers with an interest in how GIS can help us better understand the built environment from a socio-economic perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEd Ferrari is Director of the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research (CRESR) at Sheffield Hallam University.\u003cbr\u003eAlasdair Rae is a Professor at the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at the University of Sheffield.\u003cbr\u003eEd Ferrari is Director of the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research (CRESR) at Sheffield Hallam University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlasdair Rae is a Professor at the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at the University of Sheffield.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 175\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.1 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 27, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47355540799737,"sku":"9781137307149","price":80.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Lbnv-KVC2h9781137307149_1d8fa837-26bb-4dc3-a09a-c227b081b2d0.webp?v=1769854170","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/gis-for-planning-and-the-built-environment-an-introduction-to-spatial-analysis-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
