input and store
geographic
information
Supplying query
tools, applying
analysis, and
indicating geographic
information in the
form of maps or
reports
By using GIS
Teachers can teach lessons in geography,
history and engineering
Biologists can protect plants and animal species
Easier to deal with disasters
A neatly conceived implementation plan
Business rules

VECTOR DATA
-discrete points
- lines
- polygons

RASTER DATA
- the landscape as a rectangular matrix of square cells


Like the thematic layers in a map

Homogeneous collections of representations

Points, lines, polygons, and rasters

Network analysis
Networks are sets of inter connected lines through which
resources can flow
Spatial Interpolation
Global Interpolation: Uses all available control points,
so it provides more generalized estimations.
Local Interpolation: Uses a sample of controlpoints,
because of that its estimations are more local (specific).
Grid analysis
Surface analysis



In a GIS, the maps have tables of data
behind them.

Location: What exist at a particular location?
e.g. Place name, geographic reference
Situation/Condition: Where does it exist?
e.g. An unforested section of land 2000 m2 in size
Trends: What has changed over time?
e.g. At what locations are the crop yields showing
declining trends?
Patterns: What spatial patterns exist?
e.g. What percentage of death is caused by cancer
among residents near a nuclear power station?
Modelling: What if?
e.g. What happens if a toxic substance seeps into
the local groundwater supply?
