GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS: Basic Concepts and Applications

 

Yomralıoğlu, T., (2000), “Geographical Information Systems: Basic Concepts and Applications”, 5th Edition (2009), p.480, ISBN 975-97369-0-X, Istanbul.

 

Being the most popular subject of our age based on information technology, it is used extensively by cartographers, earth scientists, engineers dealing with infrastructure and space, database administrators and computer scientists, city-regional urban planners, statisticians and social field experts; The 5th edition of the book with GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS, which provides information organization between professions, has been published. This wide-ranging book, which has been published for the first time in Turkish on this subject, which has been known as a source book for a long time in our country, appeals to every segment of the society that deals with and is interested in GEOGRAPHICAL / URBAN Information Systems.
