Unmarked, initials on inside cover page. ; Book Description; Spine has no signs of creasing. Pages are clean and not marred by notes or folds. Covers are square with minor wear. Published without Dust Jacket. As early pioneers in the use of digital geographic data, many local governments in the UK were ahead of their counterparts in central government and the private sector in the application of GIS technology. To meet current challenges, local authorities must coordinate the latest technology with effective information management strategies, human and cultural issues, and organizational structures and processes. Geographic Information Management in Local Government examines the factors that are necessary to ensure that real benefits are delivered from the improved availability of geographic information. Written by two practitioners with extensive government experience, this four-part book examines supporting technology, the data that fuels it, and the human factors that help or hinder successful GIS implementation. Exploring the history of geographic information management in local government, this volume offers a pragmatic overview of the subject and what local authorities need to do in order to be successful. The Introduction covers the emergence of Geographic Information Management (GIM) and GIS in local government and explains why they are important. Part 2 explains the key elements of human and organizational issues, data, the technology toolbox, GIS selection and implementation, and coordinating mechanisms. Part 3 provides in-depth analyses of nine case studies on the use of technology by local UK authorities. Part 4 looks forward to the prospects and challenges for further GIM by local governments. ; 9.29 X 6.38 X 0.79 inches; 270 pages DN5.…

Store description
As with many booksellers, I buy entire collections rather as well as individual titles, which has led to an ever-growing and wonderfully diverse inventory. While metaphysical and occult works remain a favorite, the collection now includes a remarkable selection of geology books, which has become the largest category in the store. You'll also find beautifully illustrated juvenile fiction with memorable dust jacket art, classic murder mysteries, science fiction, history, and a wide variety of nonfiction subjects. One of the joys of Crossroads Books is never knowing what treasure will appear next. Exploring new genres, discovering unusual publishers, and continually expanding the inventory are at the heart of what I do. Whether you're searching for a specific title or simply enjoy browsing for unexpected finds, I hope you'll discover books that inform, inspire, and delight.…
