Community Geography is designed to inspire students and citizens to make a difference in their communities using GIS technology. The book includes seven case studies that describe innovative community projects in endeavors such as working with a local police department to map crime, analyzing landfill hazards, tracking river water quality, and taking inventory of area trees. Step-by-step exercises, guidelines, and practical tips for taking on similar projects in readers’ own communities are included.
Community Geography includes a CD–ROM containing data needed to complete the exercises. ArcView® 3.x or ArcGIS® 9 software is required to complete the exercises in this book.
