Description

"Alternative Futures for Changing Landscapes presents an innovative GIS-based simulation modeling strategy that considers the demographic, economic, physical, and environmental processes of an area and projects the consequences of various land-use planning and management decisions. The results of such projections, and the approach itself, are known as "alternative futures." This book presents a detailed illustration of the alternative futures approach through an analysis of development and conservation options for the Upper San Pedro River Basin in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico."--BOOK JACKET.
