| Summary: | "Examines how geospatial knowledge can be analyzed and represented in a manner that not only is accurate and coherent, but also makes intuitive sense to the end user. Concepts from a range of disciplines are integrated to explore the processes by which people acquire, represent, and utilize spatiotemporal knowledge. Arguing that the human user and the computer must be viewed as interrelated components of a single system, the book provides principles and recommendations for improving the design of geographic information systems (GIS) and other geospatial modeling tools"--Cover. |
