Abstract
GIS-Supported Site Analysis and Sustainable Design Track: Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Affairs Author(s): Joseph Grubbs GIS applications provide planners and landscape architects with a variety of tools for site analysis and sustainable design. This paper will highlight some of these tools and their application in a practical context.
