GIS-based Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Editat de Atsuyuki Okabeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 oct 2019
Resulting from a six-year project entitled Spatial Information Science for the Humanities and Social Sciences (SIS for HSS), GIS-Based Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences details the tools and processes for deploying GIS in economic and social analyses.
Through the use of this book, readers can understand how GIS technology can be utilized in advancing studies. This volume will also encourage professionals in humanities and the social sciences to employ new GIS-based methods in their own research.

Descriere
Written by experts, this book details the tools and processes for deploying GIS in economic and social analyses. It offers toolboxes for examining the effect of infrastructural features on the distribution of spatial events and for spatial analysis on a network, demonstrates how to create data modeling of an archeological site using a unified modeling language, and reviews the use of laser-scanner systems for acquiring archaeological data and walking trajectory data that can be applied to behavioral science. The book also explores how to apply GIS to urban policy analysis to investigate the effect of environmental factors on housing prices.
