GIS = Geographic Information System
GIS is the
technology that captures, manages, analyzes, and displays
all forms of geographically and spatially referenced information,
such as land use development, demographic trends, hazards
evaluation, environmental analysis, socioeconomic distribution,
transportation and network patterns.
GIS maps show location, relationships, patterns,
trends and distribution. Spatial analysis in GIS uses statistics
to create problem-solving capabilities.
GIS is designed to increase the decision-making
access to relevant data through the modeling and projection
of different scenarios, test hypotheses and see outcomes
visually.
