GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
SYSTEM (G I S )
WHAT IS G – I - S ?
GEOGRAPHIC implies that locations of the data items are
known, or can be calculated, in terms of Geographic
coordinates (Latitude, Longitude)
INFORMATION implies that the data in a GIS are
organized to yield useful knowledge, often as coloured
maps and images, but also as statistical graphics, tables,
and various on-screen responses to interactive queries.
SYSTEM implies that a GIS is made up from several inter-
related and linked components with different functions.
Thus, GIS have functional capabilities for data capture,
input, manipulation, transformation, visualization,
combinations, query, analysis, modelling and output.
What is a GIS?
A GIS is a database management system for
spatially distributed features and the
associated attributes.
• Spatial data capture
• Management
• Analysis
• Display
• Decision making
• Research

OF SPATIAL DATA FROM THE REAL WORLD
A Geographical information system is a
computerized information system for spatial
and non-spatial data referenced by
Geographic coordinates. It is designed to
acquire, store, retrieve, manipulate, analyse
and display these data according to user
defined specifications.`
DEFINITION:

What Data is in Your GIS?
• What features do you map?
• What attributes do you need to collect data
on?
• What attribute values can you give the
attribute?
ATTRIBUTE DATA
Attributes can be numeric or alfanumeric
data that is assigned to a point, line or
area spatial features
Example Attributes…
Stand ID, Compartment no,Vegetation
type, Name of the Forest Block,Type of
Road,VSS code etc.,

MAPS AND MAP ELEMENTS
Maps are graphic representation of our perception
of the world around us. They represent cartographic
interpretation and simplification of reality.
Maps provide two types of information
Locational information
Spatial Relationships
Maps contains features such as
POINT
LINE
AREA
SURFACE
MAPS AND MAP ELEMENTS
Maps provide two types of information:
Location information is graphically represented as points,
lines and areas.
Spatial relationships are derived through interpretation by the
map user.
Maps contain POINT features, LINE features and AREA features
-wells -roads -urban areas
-control points -hydro lines -water bodies
-sample sites -rivers -soil/rock units
-fire stations -contour lines -forest areas
SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS AMONG MAP FEATURES ARE
DISPLAYED ON A MAP. THEIR SIGNIFICANCE MUST BE
INTERPRETED BY THE MAP USER
Point Features
Spatially distributed entities, activities or
events
• Points have a single geographic coordinate
such as:
– Tree
– Traffic accident
– Lamp post
Line Features
Spatially distributed entities, activities or
events
• Lines (Arcs) are a series of geographic
coordinates joined to form a line such as:
– Road
– Stream
– Railway
Area Features
Spatially distributed entities, activities or
events
• Areas (Polygons) are a series of geographic
coordinates joined together to form a
boundary such as:
– Lake
– Soil types

WHY GIS ?
• To inventory and monitor resources
• To test the sensitivity of our analysis
assumptions
• To simulate potential impacts of
management alternatives
• To make the map the 2nd time, the 50th
time, the 100th time...
Uses of a GIS
• Mapping geographical characteristics for
analysis
• Modeling alternative processes
for management plans
• Managing a utility’s assets
• Monitoring changes in environmental
factors
