This book provides an introduction to HCI and usability aspects of Geographical Information Systems and Science. Its aim is to introduce the principles of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI); to discuss the special usability aspects of GIS which designers and developers need to take into account when developing such systems; and to offer a set of tried and tested frameworks, matrices and techniques that can be used within GIS projects.Geographical Information Systems and other applications of computerised mapping have gained popularity in recent years. Today, computer-based maps are common on the

This revised and updated edition integrates the latest in modern technology with traditional cartographic principles. While providing a solid conceptual foundation in cartographic methodology, the text also introduces the very latest advances that have greatly influenced cartographic techniques. The new edition reflects the increasing importance of cartography as the basis for further geographical study, the authors updating the original content and including three new chapters; Atlases, Mapping Time, and Exploratory Cartography. There will also be a more widespread emphasis on multimedia and

Focusing on practical aspects of the global positioning, remote sensing, and geographic information systems, this comprehensive manual provides the basic mathematics, computer science, and physics needed to understand how these technologies are used for mapping, inventory, and data conversion. The text presents real-world applications of these technologies, including road map navigation using GPS, as well as problems associated with mapping, inventory of land parcels, and data analysis. Contributions from widely known experts in these fields address such topics as coordinate systems, coordinat

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, many agencies within the federal government began restricting some of their publicly available geospatial data and information from such sources as the World Wide Web. As time passes, however, decisionmakers have begun to ask whether and how such information specifically helps potential attackers, including terrorists, to select U.S. homeland sites and prepare for better attacks. The research detailed in this book aims to assist decisionmakers tasked with the responsibility of choosing which geospatial information to make available and which to rest
