Geoscience is developing with a rapid pace and spatial planning is an important unit of it. Number of advanced methods and modeling techniques such as Global Positioning System (GPS), Geographical Information System (GIS) or remote sensing technologies have been introduced and practiced to enhance various facets of spatial planning. The sections of this book discuss the present profile of the theories, data, analytical methods and modeling techniques adopted in several case studies. The book not only deals with the latest developments in urban and spatial planning, but also highlights the...

The space where natural systems and social systems interact is called terrestrial space. Cartography is a means to understand these intricate systems, their interaction and evolution. Hence, cartography has acquired a significant place in the modern scenario. This book provides an overview of the activities which state the significance of cartography in the perception and organization of the territory into distinct areas. Studying the past or understanding the present, cartography has always been a tool to explore all themes of knowledge.

The book provides advanced information regarding the implementation of geographic information systems. In theoretical and professional spheres, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) hold special and crucial significance. The use of GIS has been on a steep rise in various professional fields. From civil engineers to spatial economists; from sociologists to urban planners, and criminal justice officers, the applications of GIS have found relevance in numerous professions. Hence, the understanding of Geographic Information Systems has become critical in academics and professional work. This book...
