Andy Mitchell: The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 1, Gebunden

Klappentext

Do more with your GIS and understand the foundation of spatial analysis: geographic patterns and relationships.

A geographic information system (GIS) enables so much more than mapping. A GIS inherently enables spatial analysis that can give you a better understanding of your geographic data. GIS analysis reveals answers to questions like:

• Where is it?
• Where's the most and least?
• How much is where?
• What's inside?
• What's nearby?
• What's changed?

But how do you get started? The second edition of *The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis,*Volume 1 shows you how and more.

With easier to read maps and text, The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 1, second edition, updates a classic text and describes the basic concepts of spatial analysis and GIS. Build on that understanding with essential map-building skills to unveil and display patterns and relationships. The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 1, second edition also includes a guide to online lessons that reinforce the concepts and demonstrate GIS application.

Written for both new and experienced GIS users using an easy to follow format, the second edition of *The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis,*Volume 1 helps you build a foundation of the basic tasks needed to handle a wide range of analysis applications and prepares you for more advanced GIS skills.
