{"product_id":"9781032854205","title":"GIS Mapping for Community Health and Development : A Toolkit for Policymakers and Practitioners by Priyanka Vyas","description":"This book explores how maps generated through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to integrate principles of health equity and environmental justice into community planning and decision-making. To do this, the book puts forward the 3Ps of GIS mapping: People, Place, and Policy. This book demonstrates how different maps reveal different spatial disparities for each topic, providing alternative lens for addressing socio-cultural, political, or geographical issues. Using a step-by-step approach, and covering the core concepts by which GIS maps can be interpreted, it builds to provide a comprehensive understanding of what a GIS-generated map may tell us, though crucially also what it may not. Featuring illustrated examples throughout, this book is essentially a tool kit to support a nuanced and holistic perspective on community planning.   It will appeal to policymakers, planners, and public health consultants, as well as students moving toward this field.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296105607541,"sku":"9781032854205","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032854205.jpg?v=1762770262","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781032854205","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
