Fundamentals of GIS

Literature Review Assignment

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Conduct a literature search for articles that discuss the use of GIS in the area(s) you are interested in. For example, if you are interested in forest management, search for literature on the use of GIS for forest management.

Step 2. Provide a short summary of each article or case study you read. Please write each summary in your own words. Each review should be no more than 250 words in length. Possible questions you might want to address: What was the purpose of the project? What data were used? Where did the data come from? Was the data developed by the researchers or from some other source? How was GIS used for analysis? Please review at least 5 sources.

Step 3. Organize your reviews into a single document. Include a brief introduction, a conclusion, and a bibliography.


GIS LITERATURE SEARCH TIPS

Feel free to also set the time period as needed (ex. 2005 or later).
