Description:

Landscape architecture—the design, planning, and management of natural and built environments—is a discipline grounded in spatial thinking. For progressive landscape architects, GIS technology is an increasingly important software tool for organizing digital spatial data in an accessible and logical manner. This allows landscape architects to consider more design options and to do so more quickly and efficiently than ever before.

GIS for Landscape Architects shows that this technology is no longer the exclusive realm of geographers and scientists. Through actual examples, you'll learn how landscape architects, land planners, and designers now rely on GIS to create visual frameworks within which spatial data and information are gathered, interpreted, manipulated, and shared.

Case studies drawn from the real world show how GIS was used to:

  • Prepare a comprehensive plan for a historic streetscape
  • Create a site design for a major vacation resort
  • Design and manage a recreation area
  • Visualize a proposed landfill
  • Solicit public input and manage resources for a river restoration project

GIS for Landscape Architects also includes a detailed chapter on the GIS Graphic Method developed by the author to make GIS concepts accessible to landscape architects
