520 "The goals of this textbook are to help students acquire
the technical skills of using software and managing a
database, and develop research skills of collecting data,
analyzing information and presenting results. We emphasize
that the need to investigate the potential and
practicality of GIS technologies in a typical planning
setting and evaluate its possible applications. GIS may
not be necessary (or useful) for every planning
application, and we anticipate these readings to provide
the necessary foundation for discerning its appropriate
use. Therefore, this textbook attempts to facilitate
spatial thinking focusing more on open-ended planning
questions, which require judgment and exploration, while
developing the analytical capacity for understanding a
variety of local and regional planning challenges. While
this textbook provides the background for understanding
the concepts in GIS as applicable to urban and regional
planning, it is best when accompanied by a hands-on
tutorial, which will enable readers to develop an in-depth
understanding of the specific planning applications of
GIS. In the end of each chapter, we also provided several
discussion questions, together with contextual
applications through some web links."--Open Textbook
