VALUING PLACE AND PURPOSE
GIS FOR LAND ADMINISTRATION
Improve land records, property valuation, sustainable development, and social stability.
Location intelligence is changing the way land administration works to protect and maintain appropriate land use and achieve better economic, environmental, and social benefits. The real-life stories in Valuing Place and Purpose: GIS for Land Administration show how communities, government agencies, nonprofits, and other organizations implement geographic information systems (GIS) in four key areas:
· Visualizing parcels and property
· Managing land use
· Strengthening climate and conservation efforts
· Addressing land rights, equity, and social justice
The book also includes a special section to help you get started using web apps, online maps, dashboards, and other GIS solutions to represent and understand the value of land and property and efficiently manage, edit, and share land parcel data more accurately.
Edited by Brent Jones, director of land administration industry solutions at Esri, and Keith Mann, Esri Press.
APPLYING GIS
The Applying GIS series explains how to become a spatial thinker, with ideas and strategies for building location intelligence into your profession, industry, or discipline. Each book is divided into relevant topic areas that include a set of case studies and suggestions for getting started with GIS.
