Valuing Place and Purpose : GIS for Land Administration (Applying Gis)

Modern land administration applies geospatial thinking to better understand and plan the proper use, conservation, and equitable use of land and property. Location intelligence is changing the way land administration works to protect and maintain appropriate land use and achieve better economic, environmental, and social benefits. The real-life stories in Valuing Place and Purpose: GIS for Land Administration show how communities, government agencies, nonprofits, and other organizations implement geographic information systems (GIS) in four key areas:      · Visualizing parcels and property      · Managing land use      · Strengthening climate and conservation efforts      · Addressing land rights, equity, and social justice The book also includes a special section to help readers get started using web apps, online maps, dashboards, and other GIS solutions to represent and understand the value of land and property and efficiently manage, edit, and share land parcel data more accurately.（Keith Mann）
