APPLICATIONS OF GIS
GIS TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO DIVERSE FIELD TO ASSIST
EXPERTS AND PROFESSIONALS IN ANALYSING VARIOUS TYPES OF
GEOSPATIAL DATA AND DEALING WITH COMPLEX SITUATIONS
GIS PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN HELPING PEOPLE TO COLLECT AND
ANALYSE RELATED SPATIAL DATA AND DISPLAY DATA IN DIFFERENT
FORMATS .
SOME OF ITS APPLICATIONS ARE RELATED TO :
BUSINESS
EDUCATION
MAPPING AND CHARTING
GEOSPATIAL INTELLIGENCE
GOVERNMENT
TRANSPORTATION

 BUSINESS
FURTHER IT DEALS WITH INSURANCE ,RETAIL ,MARKETING ,BANKING ,
MANUFACTURING ,MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT.
EDUCATION
GIS HELPS STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS ENGAGE IN STUDIES THAT
PROMOTE CRITICAL THINKING , INTEGRATED LEARNING AND MULTIPLE
INTELLIGENCIES ,AT THE SAME TIME STUDENTS WILL BE ACQUIRING
VALUABLE SKILLS THAT CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO 21ST CENTURY
WORKFORCE .
MAPPING

AND CHARTING

A GEOGRAPHICALLY ACCURATE BASE MAP CAN BE GENERATED

EITHER UNDERTAKING A DETAILED TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OR BY USING
SATELLITE IMAGERY ALONG WITH OTHER RESOURECES OF INFORMATION.
eg: landuse map of tirupati town by using GIS .

GEOSPATIAL INTELLIGENCE
GIS PLAYS AN CONSTANT EVOLVING ROLE IN GEOSPATIAL
INTELLIGENCE ( GEOINT) AND UNITED STATES NATIONAL SECURITY .THIS
ALLOWS USER TO EFFICIENTLY MANAGE ,ANALYZE AND PRODUCE
GEOSPATIAL DATA .
GOOGLE EARTH , ESRI ARC GIS SOFTWARES ARE USED IN THIS.

 GOVERNMENT
IT PROVIDES DATA MANAGEMENT ,COLLABORATIVE MAPPING
TOOLS , EASIER PLANNING AND PRIORITIZATON .
GIS APPLICATIONS ARE LIKE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT ,
CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT
TAX PARCEL AND LAND MANAGEMENT
EMERGENCY RESPONSE

TRANSPORTION
IT IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL IN MANAGING,EVALUATING ,PLANNING
AND MAINTAINING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS .

GIS CHARACTERISTICS OF AN AREA

IT INVOLVES THE CONCEPT OF PHOTO INTERPRETATION LIKE
TONE ,TEXTURE ,PATTERN ,PLACE ,SHAPE ,SHADOW AND SIZE.

PATTERN REFERS TO SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT OF THE

OBJECTS .
PLACE REFERS TO TOPOGRAPHIC LOCATION .
SHAPE STANDS FOR GENERAL FORM ,CONFIGURATION OR
OUTLINE OF AN OBJECT .
SATELLITE IMAGE OF
AN AREA

DETAILED APPLICATION OF GIS IN TRANSPORTATION

ENGINEERING
TO KNOW THE ROUTE AND DIRECTIONS .
Eg: TO GET DIRECTION FROM BENGALURU TO
KODAIKANAL.

DEVELOPING ROAD MAPS AND RAILMAPS

GIS IS USED IN DEVELOPING THE EXISTING ROADS AND RAILWAY

NETWORK

 MANAGING

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES

MONITORING OF THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES LIKE HIGH

RISE BUILDINGS , TUNNELS ,DAMS ,BRIDGES ..ETC ARE DONE BY
USING GIS SOFTWARE.
Eg: MONITORING OF PALM ISLAND AND GBT TUNNEL

SELECTION OF ROUTES
DIFFERENT ROUTES ARE SELECTED USING GOOGLE
EARTH APPLICATION .
Eg : SELECTION OF ROUTES FROM OLD ALWAL (IG STATUE)
TO MEDCHAL BUS DEPOT BY USING GOOGLE EARTH.

IN ABOVE FIGURE FOLLOWING FOUR ROUTES ARE SELECTED WHICH

ARE IN BROWN ,ORANGE ,BLUE AND YELLOW COLOURS OPERATING
FROM OLD ALWAL( IG STATUE) AND LEADING TO MEDCHAL BUSDEPOT.

TRANSPORT FACILITY LIKE BUS ,RAIL AND CAR ARE NOTED.

ESTIMATION OF ROUTE LENGTH AND TIME

PERIOD
IN THIS THE LENGTH OF DIFFERENT ROUTES ( KMS )
AND TIME PERIOD ARE NOTED.THE FOLLOWING TABLE DEPICTS

SELECTING THE ORANGE COLOURED PATH AS SHORTEST PATH

WHEN THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE IS ABOVE 30KMPH, THUS PROVIDING
A MINIMUM TIME FOR JOURNEY .

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SELECTION OF

ROUTE
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS INFLUENCE THE SELECTION OF
ROUTE .
RAILWAY NETWORK
SOIL CONDITIONS
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
DRAINAGE CONDITIONS
NEARBY WATERBODIES
TREES AND FORESTS
RECREATIONAL AREAS
THE FINAL SELECTION OF ROUTE ALSO INVOLVES THE
PHYSICAL FEATURES OF AN AREA AND GEOMETRIC
CONTROLLING OF DESIGN FEATURES.

BENEFITS OF SHORTCUT ROUTE

FOLLOWING ARE THE IMPORTANCE OF SHORT CUT
ROUTES

LESS TRAVELING TIME .

NO PRESENCE OF JAMMING.
MORE ENTERTAINING.
AVOIDS ACCIDENTS.
LESS MAINTAINENCE .
AVOIDS VEHICLE STREAMING INTO MAIN ROADS.
