Using real-world case studies and hands-on software exercises, Community Geography: GIS in Action will show students how geographic analysis can give them a new way of looking at the world, and inspire them to investigate issues and solve problems in their own communities. Seven case studies describe innovative GIS projects undertaken by students, teachers, and community partners in the United States and Canada. They encompass issues that matter, such as discovering and mapping landfills in residential neighbourhoods, tracking water quality, helping police monitor crime hot spots and taking inventories of community trees.
