Information Systems for Urban Planning: A Hypermedia Co-operative Approach Summary:
| Urban planners who need to design information systems require an understanding of systems analysis, data acquisition and Geographical Information Systems(GIS). In recent years the need has emerged for computer-based maps using GIS, but planners now also require tools for co- operative work using groupware systems and the Internet, for global visualisation and real time monitoring of urban activities and phenomena. Planners have moved beyond drawing land use plans, to examining the evolution of urban activities and to monitoring and analysing urban societal and environmental problems. Information Systems for Urban Planning will be of use for both students and practitioners alike. It will be particularly useful for those looking to design and use computer systems for the development of maps and written statements for city planning and public participation. Key Features: * Urban planning is becoming an increasingly important subject area, particularly in highly populated countries or green belt areas * City planners are only now seeing how useful GIS can be to them in their work * There is currently, very little available on this area of GIS, so this book should prove extremely popular * Runs through the methodologies used in the field |
