Specially commissioned chapters aim to cover the role of large intact natural areas in modern conservation (systems, people, communities, resilience, ecosystem services, large scale processes, connectivity, etc.)
Chapters organised into concepts, techniques and applications
Provides an overview of GIS and related technologies in the mapping and modelling of wilderness and wild land environments across a range of spatial scales
This volume gives a comprehensive overview of wilderness mapping, and in doing so covers the conceptual and philosophical foundations, techniques and methodological approaches, and applications at a variety of spatial scales.
The Editors have brought together a range of contributors who are both experts in their field and cutting-edge thinkers in the wilderness and spatial mapping domain. Spatial information technology and mapping science is a rapidly expanding and a developing field and so it is expected to be able to add to this volume in the future.
This book provides a record of the "state of the art" and will enable the reader to follow this lead and map his/her own wilderness.
