Making Spatial Decisions Using GIS: A Workbook, second edition, provides scenario-based lessons that develop GIS skills and critical thinking. Students will use organised workflows, spatial analysis, and visualisation to make decisions rooted in real-world issues about crime, hazards, hurricanes, demographics, and urban planning.

Making Spatial Decisions Using GIS, level 4 of the Our World GIS Education series, allows students to experience the process of spatial decision making in real-world settings. Designed for an upper-level high school or college curriculum, the five modules on this book encourage students to perform sophisticated analysis, make maps, and examine location criteria, population patterns, chemical spills, storm-ravaged coastlines, and big-city crime. Level 4 contains all students need to complete GIS projects, including GIS software, data, instructions, and worksheets. The modules offer step-by-step instruction along with guidelines for more independent study. The technical prerequisites for this advanced material are outlined in the introduction, which also explain how to use this media package, organise your workflow, and evaluate your products.
