5.0 out of 5 stars
A "user friendly" introduction and instructional on the use of geographic information systems for local governmental authorities,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The GIS Guide for Local Government Officials (Paperback)
A senior project manager with the International City/County Management Association based in Washington, D.C., Cory Fleming draws upon his considerable experience and impressive expertise to compile the professional observations of six contributing experts to develop The GIS Guide For Local Government Officials into a thoroughly "user friendly" introduction and instructional on the use of geographic information systems for local governmental authorities. This is a specialized mapping technology that enables local units of government to coordinate their resources, exercise judicious caution in the expenditure of funds, and facilitate future city and county planning. From monitoring storm drains to fixing potholes, the breadth and variety of municipal and county governance issues that GIS technologies can assist with is enduringly valuable. Utilizing case examples and government officials (in their own words) describing the utility of GIS, this informed and informative reference should be on the resource shelves of every village, town, city, and county organization in the country today.
