Widely used in marketing, business planning, government and legislation, Geographic Information Systems are a rapidly growing industry and their impacts are substantial. This book offers an understanding of GIS - the social impacts of the development and the ethical issues surrounding their use. It looks beyond the basic techniques to the social, economic, legal, political and ethical contexts within which GIS exist. Through clear, non-technical analysis, the author draws upon the most recent and original research in the field to offer a broad understanding of GIS and their future impacts.
