Description:

Innovation, flexibility, and responsiveness, the new criteria for success in the digital economy, have also become the new mandates for successful public administration.

GIS in Public Policy tells the stories of how those on the front lines of public service--such as teachers, administrators, analysts, legislators, and police--are bringing new power and vitality to their missions. GIS is allowing them to distribute tax money more fairly, to protect life and property more effectively, to serve urban and rural constituencies in new and more efficient ways.

In policy areas that voters consistently say concern them most, such as education, public safety, and the environment, GIS is making a difference that forward-thinking policy makers cannot ignore. GIS can not only implement legislators' and voters' decisions with remarkable effectiveness--its ability to analyze and to demonstrate graphically the policy decisions themselves makes it an indispensable tool of good governing.

With a foreword by Ann Azari, a former mayor and member of the board of the National League of Cities, GIS in Public Policy shows vividly the very real benefits of this technology for anyone with an interest in, or influence over, the ways our institutions shape our lives.

描述:
創新、靈活性和反應能力,這些是數位經濟成功的新標準,也成為成功公共行政的新要求。《公共政策中的地理資訊系統》講述了那些在公共服務一線工作的人士,如教師、行政人員、分析師、立法者和警察,如何為他們的使命帶來新的力量和活力。地理資訊系統使他們能夠更公平地分配稅款,更有效地保護生命和財產,以更新更高效的方式服務城市和鄉村選民。在選民一致表示最關心的教育、公共安全和環境等政策領域,地理資訊系統正在產生不可忽視的影響,這是有遠見的政策制定者不能忽視的。地理資訊系統不僅能夠以非凡的效果實施立法者和選民的決策,而且它分析和以圖形方式展示政策決策本身的能力,使其成為良好治理的不可或缺的工具。《公共政策中的地理資訊系統》由前市長、國家城市聯盟董事會成員安·阿扎里撰寫前言,生動地展示了這項技術對任何對我們的機構如何塑造我們的生活方式感興趣或有影響力的人的實際好處。
