Synopsis
Local authorities are slowly gaining awareness of the benefits of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Geographic Information Management in Local Government presents case studies taken from a variety of authorities in the UK. In each instance, the text examines what triggered the authority's initial decision to adopt GIS, explores the problems it encountered and highlights best practices. It reviews the capabilities and limitations of existing techniques, considers the human factors that affect the adoption of GIS (including training needs), and explores the future of GIS in local government. It is critical for all those considering a new GIS or developing the future of GIS in local governments.
