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 Library. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 588 This bibliographic record is available under the Creative Commons CC0 "No Rights Reserved" license. 588 0 Online version, 2014 edition; title from PDF (viewed on July 26, 2016). 590 Promoted: Local to Global Cooperative|bOpen Textbook Library 650 0 Geographic information systems. 650 0 Geospatial data. 650 0 Regional planning|xData processing. 650 0 Land use|xPlanning|xData processing. 650 2 Geographic Information Systems. 650 7 geographic information systems.|2aat 650 7 Geographic information systems.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00940423 650 7 Geospatial data.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01741194 650 7 Land use|xPlanning|xData processing.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00991534 650 7 Regional planning|xData processing.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01093136 655 7 Textbooks.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423863 655 7 Textbooks.|2lcgft 700 1 Shandas, Vivek,|ecreator. 700 1 Arriaga Cordero, Eugenio,|d1972-|ecreator. 830 0 Open Textbook Library. 914 ocn953997792 994 92|bSTJ
