Economists; geographers and surveyors are beginning to recognise the powerful tool which a Geographical Information System (GIS) offers in effective property management. It provides a means of managing land and property information digitally and in a geographical context; and allows for rapid access to information and a means of analyzing that information in a geographical context.GIS in Land and Property Management shows how to use GIS; both in principle and in practice. It introduces digital mapping and GIS; along with a brief history of the development of GIS and LIS; all with an emphasis on property. In presenting the spectrum of GIS applications in property management it gives a number of case studies from a variety of market sectors; and it analyzes the issues to provide guidance and a number of recommendations for the implementation of GIS. At the same time common themes and issues are drawn out to present a coherent message for students and practitioners.The book is useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students on land management; built environment; economics and geography courses; and for property professionals; in both public and private sectors; looking to GIS as a property management decision aid.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Neat reprintBy R ErwinThis is a neat little book if you like Victorian domestic architecture.The book has an artists rendering and floor plan for well over 100 homes.Here are a couple things to note:1. Some of the plans are VERY small; I need a magnifying glass to see the details.2. The houses and plans are somewhat repetitious. They all come from one architectural firm and are mostly in the Italianate and French Mansard styles with a tiny bit of Gothic thrown in. Dont expect any Queen Anne or Stick-style homes.3. A number of the plans do not include the second floor and NONE of the plans include the cellars (with kitchens; etc.) or attics and towers. The attics and towers make Victorian architecture unique; and so it is disappointing to not have them.4. Quite a few of the plans are a mirror image of the rendering; so it takes a bit to figure them out.That said; I am enjoying looking through the houses and plans.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Appealing designsBy Dylan L. WeberOnly disappointment is that there were a lot of homes that only offered the first floor plan; so the reader is left to imagine the layout of other floors. On the other hand; the written detail is quite nice.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
