Wang Hua · Environmental Technology · 2005
Resources and environmental protection are important parts of human sustainable development, and the increasing complexity of environmental problems leads to more requisition for environmental management, based on which, environmental management information system (EMIS) emerged then. GIS has the similarity and complementarity with the environm-ent information in concepts and objects of study, so EMIS based on GIS will propel greatly the environmental management forward. The coupling of environmental models and spatial information is the trend of their combination.
