Designing a geographic visual information system (GVIS) to support participation in urban planning (2004)
Thesis
Zhang, X. Designing a geographic visual information system (GVIS) to support participation in urban planning. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The growth of the international movement to involve the public in urban planning
urges us to find new ways to achieve this. Recent studies have identified
information communication technologies (ICT) as a mechanism to support such
movement. It has... Read More about Designing a geographic visual information system (GVIS) to support participation in urban planning.
