dc.description.abstract | This paper outlines the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS), in
the form of map overlays, to assist in the identification of socio-economic
and physical environmental factors affecting extraction of peat by machine
from blanket bog in Northern Ireland. The spatially coincident distributions
revealed, were further investigated by other means, to establish any casual
relationships. PC Arc/Info, a proprietary GIS package installed on an IBM
PS/2 Model 80 and the UNIRAS mapping system were used by the team,
which comprised two geographers (RT and MC), an economist/computer
programmer (DB) and a research assistant familiar with Arc/Info (PD).
The work of the participants was therefore complementary. The paper is
in four parts:
1. The issue to be investigated
2. GIS in a trial area
3. GIS for all the blanket peatland
4. Conclusions | en |
