GIS diffusion : the adoption and use of geographical information systems in local government in Europe

Abstract

For this, the latest in our GISDATA series, the team of editors at the University of Sheffield's renowned Department of Town & Regional Planning have brought together leading experts who describe the diffusion of GIS in local government in nine European countries - Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Portugal. For each country, the recent diffusion of this technology is set against the background of the national institutional context, the structure of local government and the availability of digital data. It is then analysed in a systematic way in terms of the extent of diffusion, length of experience, main applications areas and predominant hardware and software
