Overview
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, and environmental modelling are increasingly being used to address land use and land use management issues although much of the development in these applications is based in specific case studies that are not readily accessible to a wide audience. Spatial Information for Land Use Management is designed as a reference that provides a description and discussion of the issues involved in the use of spatial information for land use management. The chapters include detailed examples of the use of spatial information in land use management. The book begins with the technological methods, examines applications in a variety of environments, and describes the ways in which issues of scale, uncertainty, linkage of models and GIS, and problem solution have been addressed.

In a collection developed from a seminar series Hill organized while at Montana State University in 1998, scientists from a number of disciplines provide graduate and undergraduate students and professionals examples of how spatial information gained from geographic information systems, remote-sensing, and environmental modelling can be used in land use management. The case studies include a variety of environments, and describe how issues of scale, uncertainty, linkage of models, and problem solving have been addressed. Annotation c.
