Overview of GIS

Application
GIS
A geographic information system (GIS) is a
system for capturing, storing, analyzing, and
managing data and associated attributes that are
spatially referenced to Earth. In the strictest
sense, it is an information system capable of
integrating, storing, editing, analyzing, sharing,
and showing geographically referenced
information. With GIS, users can create
interactive queries, analyze spatial information,
edit data, integrate maps, and present the results
of these tasks.

Geographic information system technology is
used for resource management, asset
management, environmental impact
assessment, urban planning, sales, marketing,
logistics, and many other activities. For
example, GIS makes it possible for facility
managers to easily assess impacts on facility
assets in the event of a natural disaster. Or, GIS
can be used to find a site for a new business to
take advantage of a previously underserved
market.

Urban Management And Planning
Planning / zoning
GIS technology is often used in urban planning, and impacts
people living in the area in many ways. The benefits of using a
GIS in urban planning are numerous, because GIS takes into
consideration many different factors to help build an efficient
and organized city.
