Abstract

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are effective tools for data integration, analysis and display that are central to many aspects of landscape planning. This chapter provides an overview of some key GIS concepts and developments regarding landscape planning. We also provide possible sources of software and some examples for different applications where GIS has been employed. The final section discusses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with GIS applications in landscape planning.
