This volume is the result of an invited symposium titled 'Integrated land use and environmental models: a survey of current applications and research' that was held in October 2000 at Arizona State University--Preface."Published with the cooperation of: Herberger Center for Design Excellence, Arizona State University."

Evolving Definitions --; Changing Practices --; Ecologic Processes and Their Landuse Implications --; Visualization, Representation and Communication --; Socioeconomic Implications of Transportation an Land Use.

The authors of this volume follow four interrelated themes. In the first section "Evolving Definitions - Changing Practices" the fundamental shifts in urban modeling practices are examined in relation to the new theoretical and computational advances in the field. The second section "Ecologic Processes and their Land Use Implications" provides current examples of ecological models that influence land use policy and planning. "Visualization, Representation and Communication" deals exclusively with the science and art of geographic data generation and representation techniques. Finally the section on "Socioeconomic Implications of Transportation and Land Use" examines the traditional domain of urban models from a sociological and environmental perspective and offers new insights on transportation planning.
