✦ Synopsis

As Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have developed and their applications have been extended, the issue of uncertainty has become increasingly recognized. Users need to be well aware of the likely impacts of uncertainties in spatial analysis and decision-making. The book discusses theoretical and practical aspects of spatial data processing and uncertainties, covers a wide range of types of errors and fuzziness and emphasizes description and modelling.
