Applications of Geographical Information Systems in Environmental Management

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) facilitate the collection, analysis, and visualization of spatial data for environmental management. By integrating various data layers, including land use, terrain, and hydrology, GIS enables effective planning, monitoring, and decision-making to address environmental challenges like urbanization, deforestation, and pollution. This book highlights the applications of GIS in analyzing spatial data, mapping environmental patterns, and supporting decision-making processes, making it an essential resource for professionals in the field of environmental management.
