The demand on local government to do more with less by improving operations, increasing productivity, and making better and more informed decisions increases constantly.

This book:
This book is the guide that details best GIS applications and practices for the 34 departments in local government that can, and should, use GIS technology. It explains in details how, why, and what each department should implement, a clear and understandable explanation of departmental GIS.
