Summary
"Integrating GIS, spatial analysis and computational methods, Quantitative Methods and Applications in GIS demonstrates various applications of GIS in the social sciences. The author addresses general issues such as spatial analysis tools, basic quantitative methods such as accessibility measures, and advanced topics such as linear programming. Each chapter introduces a method, discusses a theme that uses the method, and applies the method to case studies in a GIS environment. The text emphasizes implementations of methods using real-world data and demonstrates the diversity of issues that are policy relevant. It also includes a CD-ROM with data and computer programs"--From publisher's description.
