Ebook Principles of Geographic Information Systems: An introductory textbook

This book was originally designed for a three-week lecturing module on the principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to be taught to students in all education programmes at ITC as the second module in their course. A geographic information system is a computer-based system that supports the study of natural and man-made phenomena with an explicit location in space. To this end, the GIS allows data entry, data manipulation, and production of interpretable output that may provide new insights about the phenomena.
