Geographic Information System (GIS) aims to organize complex interrelation between different layers of information through a process of gathering, analysing, processing, storing and presenting the spatial data and images available through different sources. It integrates hardware, software and data for capturing, managing, analysing and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. This book presents theory, methods and latest research finding for problem-solving and decision-making using GIS-based technologies.
