Over the last decade, GIS (geographical information systems) has established itself as a collaborative information processing system. The vast domain of information it can process is ever increasing and so is its popularity. Yet this interdisciplinary field is not available to the vast community of students and academicians as a subject of study. This book adresses the GIS user domain encompassing students, users and engineers. Important aspects of geographical information science (GISc), which is the basis of GIS, are explained. The book aims to capture the basics of GIS from the point of view of a student. The requirements of GIS have been explained keeping in mind the general user's level of knowledge. The processing capability of GIS along with the mathematics and formulae involved in arriving at a solution are explained for students and cartographers. The work flow of the whole system, its output and applications are illustrated from an engineer's point of view.

En présentant les grands principes de l'analyse criminelle, cet ouvrage vise un premier objectif : bénéficier du savoir des études menées depuis deux siècles qui ont permis des avancées notables et qu'il ne faudrait pas oublier. Dès le 19e siècle, en effet, on réalisait des travaux d'analyse criminelle pour répondre à la nécessité d'augmenter l'efficacité de la police dans sa lutte contre la criminalité. L'analyse criminelle est un travail complexe et sa formation doit en rendre compte. D'un côté, les analystes et, plus généralement, les criminologues se professionnalisent : il importe donc de bien définir en quoi consiste leur travail. C'est loin d'être facile, d'autant que la criminologie est elle-même un amalgame de domaines : géographie, psychologie, sociologie, travail social, droit, etc. D'un autre côté, il n'est pas évident de distinguer les analystes criminels des chercheurs en criminologie, puisqu'ils utilisent tous deux des méthodes et des processus semblables. Pourtant, tout comme les chercheurs sont considérés comme des " spécialistes en recherche ", les analystes devraient être reconnus comme des experts en leur domaine. Cet ouvrage répondra à cet objectif de reconnaissance de la profession en en montrant toutes les facettes, de façon théorique, bien sûr, mais aussi en utilisant des exemples tirés de cas réels.

The map, as it appears in Gilles Deleuze's writings, is a concept guiding the exploration of new territories, no matter how abstract. With the advent of new media and digital technologies, contemporary artists have imagined a panoply of new spaces that put Deleuze's concept to the test. Deleuze's concept of the map bridges the gap between the analog and the digital, information and representation, virtual and actual, canvas and screen and is therefore best suited for the contemporary artistic landscape. Deleuze and the Map-Image explores cartography from philosophical and aesthetic perspectives and argues that the concept of the map is a critical touchstone for contemporary multidisciplinary art. This book is an overview of Deleuze's cartographic thought read through the theories of Sloterdijk, Heidegger, and Virilio and the art criticism of Laura U. Marks, Carolyn L. Kane, and Alexander Galloway, shaping it into a critical tool through which to view the works of cutting edge artists such as Janice Kerbel and Hajra Waheed, who work with digital and analog art. After all, Deleuze did write that a map can be conceived as a work of art, and so herein art is critiqued through cartographic strategies.

Over the past few decades the world has been organized through the growth and integration of geographic information systems (GIS) across public and private sector industries, agencies, and organizations. This has happened in a technological context that includes the widespread deployment of multiple digital mobile technologies, digital wireless communication networks, positioning, navigation and mapping services, and cloud-based computing, spawning new ways of imagining, creating, and consuming geospatial information and analytics. GIS: An Introduction to Mapping Technologies is written with the detached voices of practitioner scholars who draw on a diverse set of experiences and education, with a shared view of GIS that is grounded in the analysis of scale-diverse contexts emphasizing cities and their social and environmental geographies. GIS is presented as a critical toolset that allows analysts to focus on urban social and environmental sustainability. The book opens with chapters that explore foundational techniques of mapping, data acquisition and field data collection using GNSS, georeferencing, spatial analysis, thematic mapping, and data models. It explores web GIS and open source GIS making geospatial technology available to many who would not be able to access it otherwise. Also, the book covers in depth the integration of remote sensing into GIS, Health GIS, Digital Humanities GIS, and the increased use of GIS in diverse types of organizations. Active learning is emphasized with ArcGIS Desktop lab activities integrated into most of the chapters. Written by experienced authors from the Department of Geography at DePaul University in Chicago, this textbook is a great introduction to GIS for a diverse range of undergraduates and graduate students, and professionals who are concerned with urbanization, economic justice, and environmental sustainability.

"Cet ouvrage apporte aux étudiants les notions clés et méthodes indispensables à la maîtrise des systèmes d'information géographique (SIG). Il présente les fondamentaux de l'information géographique, les traitements et les analyses qui sont au coeur des projets SIG. Il montre comment les SIG peuvent répondre à des problématiques spatiales portant aussi bien sur des phénomènes géographiques discrets ou continus que sociaux ou environnementaux. Un véritable outil pédagogique, illustré par de multiples exemples, une centaine de figures, des focus thématiques, des conseils, des définitions et des questions de révision"
