Geographic Information Systems are now an essential tool for research and planning in many fields. GIS mapping allows the documentation and integration of diverse spatial data-sets that can be applied directly to plot current trends and to provide the basis for planning future developments. In this subject the key concepts and techniques are introduced, including the design of appropriate databases and their manipulation using GIS software. Archaeology provides many of the case-studies examined, with further examples drawn from a wider variety of fields and applications in social and environmental science, research and planning.
