IT POWER OF MAPPING: A GIS Technology

A Spatial Technology,GIS : IT based system revolutionize our understanding of Complex Earthy System and Interlinking the various information

~Roger Tomlinson – “The Father of GIS”~

GIS, an acronym used for Geographical Information System. It is incorporating an integrated computer software for data collection and managed information related about the geographic places, analyzing spatial relationships, and model spatial processes. A GIS is a framework for sorting, gathering and organizing spatial data; so that it can be displayed and analyzed visually in informative way for interpreting the result &implications it conveys.

 There is a uprising interest in awareness of the economic and strategic value of GIS and using as medium to make communicative world for effective, sustainable and conservative future. It includes following advantages –

1.  Cost Savings for Greater Efficiency  : A GIS tool manages the fleet movements &optimize maintenance schedules.
2. Improved Communication : A GIS helps to communicate better between different departments, professional fields, disciplines and the public.
3. Better Decision Making :  A GIS is the go-to technology for making better and smart decisions about locations. Making correct decisions about location is a critical to the success of an organization policy and firm business strategies.
4. Better Record Keeping : A GIS provides a strong framework for managing avrious types of records with full transaction support and reporting tools
5. Managing Geographically : A GIS is essential to understanding what is happening and what will happen in geographic space.

Principle Working of GIS

It includes a simple five-step process lets you apply GIS to any business or organizational problem that requires a geographic decision.

• Ask : What is the problem trying to solve or analyze, and where is it located? Framing the question will help you decide what to analyze and how to present the results.
• Acquire : The type of data and the geographic scope of  project will help direct methods of collecting data and conducting the analysis.
• Examine : It is know for certain that data is appropriate for study after thoroughly examining it.
• Analyze : Geographic analysis is the core strength of GIS. Depending on project, there are many different analysis methods to choose. GIS modeling tools makes it easy to process.
• Act : It serves the best means for presenting analysis, and GIS makes it easy to tailor the results for different usages.
