Space is an important dimension in most real-world issues that concern social scientists and students of public policy. Think Globally, Act Regionally: GIS and Data Visualization for Social Science and Public Policy Research explores the spatial aspects of issues such as the preservation of farmland and endangered plants and animals, urban and regional planning, and management of light-rail lines. This book is designed as a month-long module with structured exercises addressing themes of urbanisation, GIS technology, data visualisation, the balance between the built and natural environments, and issues of spatial equity and regional integration.
