The first book to offer a social science approach to GIS applications while instructing in the use of GIS. It outlines a range of modern uses with associated practicals to work through, and demonstrates how researcher and policymakers can use GIS to plan services more effectively. It will be of interest to geographers, as well as the broader social sciences, such as sociology, crime science, health, business and marketing.
