Beskrivning
Unique and authoritative reference combining concepts, theories, and hands-on analysis in the ArcGIS Pro software environment Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analysis bridges the gap between academic discussions and research with public and private professional practices in the field. The book discusses and illustrates essential concepts and theories, with tutorials showing students how to conduct hands-on analysis in the ArcGIS Pro software environment. Supplementary material for this text includes data files for the tutorials and student exercises. All datasets are sourced from public domains, including the US Census Bureau data, the New York State ITS Geospatial Services, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), the GIS Services of Erie County New York, and others. Written by a highly qualified academic, the book covers topics such as: Digital data models representing geographic information, including vector, raster, and 3D modelsMethods of spatial data input in vector and raster data formats to incorporate geographic features and events with their attribute dataGeographic data collections in natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences, and relational, spatial, and structural querying of a databaseCoordinate systems, map projection, geo-referencing, geographic analyses, and internet-enabled geographic information sharingSpatial interpolation and spatial statistical analysis, network analysis, digital mapping, and map presentationsFundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analysis is an essential reference for GIS analysts and technicians, urban planners, civil engineers, and computer scientists, along with students in related programs of study.

Recensioner i media

"Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analysis is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to GIS at the college level. It is well-suited as a primary textbook for undergraduate courses, while also serving as a valuable resource for self-directed learners seeking to build a strong foundation in GIS.Dr. Tang effectively integrates core GIS concepts with real-world applications and hands-on tutorials, creating a balanced learning experience that is both practical and intellectually grounded. The inclusion of applied examples helps bridge theory and practice (an essential component for developing competent GIS professionals).I will admit a degree of bias in appreciating the inclusion of New York State–based examples. These case studies are a gratifying reminder of the sustained effort by the team I led in developing and maintaining the New York State GIS Clearinghouse, supported by contributions from agencies across all levels of government and sectors.The book progresses logically, beginning with foundational principles of GIS and advancing through key topics such as data processing, spatial analysis, and digital cartography. The accompanying website, which provides datasets for eleven tutorial exercises, significantly enhances the learning experience by enabling readers to apply concepts in a structured, hands-on manner.Overall, this text is a strong contribution to GIS education and a practical guide for anyone looking to understand and apply GIS in real-world contexts."—Frank Winters, Former New York State Geographic Information Officer (GIO) Chair, National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) Advocacy Committee Board Member, National Geospatial Collaborative (NGC)
