A New GeoComputation Pattern and Its Application in Dual-Evaluation, 1st ed. 2021

This book introduces Document As System (DAS), a new GeoComputation pattern, which is also a new GIS application pattern. It uses the GeoComputation language (G language) to describe and execute complex spatial analysis model in the MS Word environment, which solves the bottleneck problem of GIS application, makes GIS become a popular tool for spatial data analysis from the spatial data visualization tool, and plays an important role in the wide application of GIS technology. This book systematically introduces the theory related to the new GeoComputation pattern and the application example in the ?dual-evaluation? of territorial and spatial planning, which can be used as a learning and reference manual for GIS related professionals and business personnel engaged in the ?dual-evaluation? of territorial and spatial planning.

Wensheng Zhou is Ph.D., Associate Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, and Deputy Director of key scientific research base, State Administration of Cultural Relics. In 1990, he obtained a master’s degree in engineering surveying from Wuhan University of Surveying and Mapping Technology, and a Ph.D. degree in cartography and geographic information engineering from Wuhan University in 2003. In the same year, he joined the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University as a postdoctoral student and left the University in 2005. He mainly engaged in the application research of spatial information technology in urban and rural planning and cultural heritage protection. He has published more than 70 papers and more than 20 software copyrights, presided over the compilation of one national standard and four industry standards. Representative achievements include theory and practice of open WebGIS (Science Press 2007), Tsinghua geodesign system (2013sr160411). He proposes anovel GeoComputing pattern and GeoComputing  language. The “dual-evaluation” system of territorial and spatial planning developed based on this new GeoComputing  pattern has been applied in more than 100 units in more than 30 provinces of China.
