Divided into five clear sections, the book investigates the unique, complex and difficult problems that are posed by geographic information and together they build into a holistic understanding of the key principles of GIS.
Goodchild and Paul A Longley. Beginning with a definition of GIScience, they discuss how this research area has been influenced by recent developments in computing and data-intensive analysis, before setting out its core organising principles from a practical perspective. The section then reflects on the key characteristics of geographic information, the problems posed by large data volumes, the relevance of geographic scale, the remit of geographic simulation, and the key achievements of GIScience to date.
The subsequent review of changing scientific practices and the changing problems facing scientists addresses developments in high-performance computing, heightened awareness of the social context of GISystems, and the importance of neogeography in providing new data sources, in driving the need for new techniques, and in heightening a human-centric perspective. London, UCL Press. Big Data collected by customer-facing organisations — such as smartphone logs, store loyalty card transactions, smart travel tickets, social media posts, or smart energy meter readings — account for most of the data collected about citizens today.
As a result, they are transforming the practice of social science. Consumer Big Data are distinct from conventional social science data not only in their volume, variety and velocity, but also in terms of their provenance and fitness for ever more research purposes. The contributors to this book, all from the Consumer Data Research Centre, provide a first consolidated statement of the enormous potential of consumer data research in the academic, commercial and government sectors — and a timely appraisal of the ways in which consumer data challenge scientific orthodoxies.

Opportunities for retail data and their geographic integration in social science, chapter by Guy Lansley and Paul Longley. File Name: geographic information systems and science longley 3rd edition.
Geographic information system GIS refers to a broad range of computer-based tools for capturing, storing, generating, analyzing, and displaying geographic data in support of integrated decision making. At that time, it was very difficult to accurately measure areas from a map. Our solutions are written by Chegg experts so you can be assured of the highest quality!
