Résumé : |
This book on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides a rigorous but balanced treatment of concepts and techniques in a single volume. GIS has evolved from a mapping and spatial analytical tool in geography to become a full-fledged professional practice. There is now a proliferation of educational programs from universities and colleges that purport to certify or accredit the proficiency of their graduates' GIS skills in the workplace. GIS is a multidisciplinary science. GIS practitioners may be geographers, planners, surveyors, or computer scientists. Despite the diversity in approaches, GIS has a special set of skills and knowledge needed by the professionals to use GIS in all its forms and implementations. This book is an attempt to define the set of skills and concepts for GIS professionals. One of us is a GIS practitioner who has over 20 years of work experience in the academic and public sectors as well as the private consulting industry in Hong Kong and Canada. The other is an academic with over 30 years of research and teaching experience in photogrammetry, remote sensing, and GIS in universities in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and the United States. We put our experience to work for this book with the hope that it will be useful to both geographic information practitioners and scientists. |
