32.1. Introduction
Current course
MT&T Geographic Information System (GIS) is defined as an information system that is used to input, store, retrieve, manipulate, analyze and output geographically referenced data or geospatial data, in
Participants order to support decision making for planning and management of land use, natural resources, environment, transportation, urban facilities, and other administrative records.
