Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an interdisciplinary field that combines computer science, cartography, geography, operation research techniques, computational mathematics, surveying and statistics to manage and analyse spatially referenced data. It is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyse, manage, and present all types of geographical data. It combines hardware, software, data, and personnel to process information that is linked to specific locations on the earth's surface. A GIS establishes a correspondence between spatial and non-spatial data and performs an integrated analysis. Spatial data can be in the form of charts, aerial photos, satellite images, plane table surveyed maps, and GPS-generated observations, while non-spatial data can be in the form of words, numbers, and symbols from sources such as census and secondary surveys. A successful GIS operates according to a well-designed plan and unique business rules for each organization. Map creation can be automated or manual, using scanned images or satellite imagery. The field of GIS has gained significant attention worldwide due to its recent emergence, rapid rate of development, commercial orientation and diversity. Not Available |
