Focusing on the design of a Decision Support System, a process is presented aimed to transform geographic data into knowledge useful for analysis and decision-making on the economic exploitation of geothermal energy. This detailed description includes a literature review and technical issues related to data collection, data mining, decision analysis for the informative system developed for the case study. A multi-disciplinary approach to GIS design is presented which is also an innovative example of fusion of georeferenced data acquired from multiple sources including remote sensing, networks of sensors and socio-economic censuses. \u003ci\u003eGIS to Support Cost-effective Decisions on Renewable Sources \u003c\/i\u003eis a useful, practical reference for engineers, managers and researchers involved in the design of GIS, decision support systems, investment planning\/strategy in renewable energy and ICT innovation in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447150541\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-5055-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 84\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397328257164,"sku":"9781447150541","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447150541.jpg?v=1775775200","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447150541","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
