Geographic Information Systems and rural land use analysis : an evaluation of alternative data sources

Creator:: Mickaelson, Nels E.
Abstract:: A Geographic Information System (GIS) can be a powerful tool for solving land use planning problems. The synthesis, analysis, and depiction of spatial data make it a valuable tool for land use planners. A primary issue with GIS is the cost and time required to develop a functional system. One...
