GIS Research Methods: Incorporating Spatial Perspectives

<em>GIS Research Methods: Incorporating Spatial Perspectives<em> shows researchers how to incorporate spatial thinking and geographic information system (GIS) technology into research design and analysis. Topics include research design, digital data sources, volunteered geographic information, analysis using GIS, and how to link research results to policy and action. The concepts presented in <em>GIS Research Methods<em> can be applied to projects in a range of social and physical sciences by researchers using GIS for the first time and experienced practitioners looking for new and innovative research techniques.
