 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related
technologies are beginning to have a significant
impact on the communities. Information technology is
considerably affecting society, often to the
disadvantage of low-income communities. Yet there are
numerous incidents in the US and around the world
where communities have taken control of the technology
and used it to their own advantage. Much of this book
is a presentation of detailed case studies; it
provides models that can be replicated by other
communities, which reflect on public participation in
GIS concepts, best practices, and constraints and
opportunities.
