Abstract: Abstract A Geographical Information System is a system of hardware, software and procedures designed to support the capture, management, manipulation, analysis, modelling and display of spatially referenced information. Such systems enable links to be established and relationships to be analysed between different phenomena by cross referencing data sets drawn from a range of sources (e.g., data on demography, infrastructure, land use, environmental quality, health, crime and disorder, social cohesion, etc).
