South and Southeast Asian countries are experiencing rapid land cover and land use changes (LCLUC) driven by urbanization, agricultural expansion, deforestation, and infrastructure development.
By offering an understanding of Geographic Information Systems within the social, economic, legal, political and ethical contexts within which they exist, the author shows that there are substantial limits to their ability to represent the very objects and relationships, people and places, that many believe to be most important.
