Sinopsis

L'utilisation efficace des vastes ressources d'information g�ographique (IG) d'aujourd'hui n�cessite plus qu'une technologie puissante pour r�soudre les probl�mes. Il faut de la science pour nous aider � comprendre le fonctionnement du monde et pour nous aider � concevoir des proc�dures efficaces pour prendre des d�cisions. Trois �ditions pr�c�dentes ont �tabli ce texte comme un traitement multidisciplinaire d�finissant les principes scientifiques qui sous-tendent l'utilisation des technologies de l'information g�ographique pour la r�solution de probl�mes. Cette �dition largement r�vis�e et mise � jour fournit un guide sur les principes scientifiques durables et les syst�mes d'information qui soutiennent l'utilisation efficace des IG d'aujourd'hui. Il fournit �galement une introduction sur les m�thodes essentielles pour l'analyse des IG et les fa�ons dont une gestion efficace de l'IG informe les politiques et les actions.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Effective use of today s vast geographic information (GI) resources requires more than just powerful technology for problem solving. It requires science to help us understand the way the world works, and to help us devise effective procedures for making decisions. Three previous editions have established this text as a defining multidisciplinary treatment of the scientific principles that underpin the use of geographic information technologies for problem solving. This extensively revised and updated edition provides a guide to the enduring scientific principles and information systems that support effective use of today s GI. It also provides a primer on essential methods for analysis of GI, and the ways in which effective management of GI informs policy and action.
