This document provides a short introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It discusses the purposes of GIS, including using GIS to understand phenomena that have both geographic and temporal dimensions. It also describes how GIS allows users to enter, analyze, and present georeferenced data. The document outlines how GIS represents real world features through models like maps and databases and discusses spatial databases specifically. It positions GIS as existing at the intersection of geography and information science and technology.
A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographical information science or geospatial information studies to refer to the academic discipline or career of working with geographic information systems and is a large domain within the broader academic discipline of Geoinformatics. In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and computer science technology.
GIS systems allow for the input, storage, manipulation, analysis and output of geographic data. Spatial data represents location and attributes provide additional data about features. Data can be represented as vectors using points, lines and polygons, or as rasters in a grid cell format. Key properties of spatial data include projection, scale, accuracy, resolution and how it represents real world features. GIS allows for integrated analysis of spatial and attribute data through functions like classification, measurement, overlay and more.
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based tool used to represent and analyze geographic features and events on Earth. GIS integrates spatial data like maps with non-spatial data like databases to allow users to more easily visualize, question, interpret, and understand data for a variety of purposes such as planning, management, engineering, and analysis. Key advantages of GIS include enabling better planning of projects through spatial analysis and generation of thematic maps, improved decision-making through querying and analyzing spatial data, enhanced visualization of landscapes and calculations through tools like digital terrain modeling, and increased organizational integration and efficiency by facilitating information sharing across departments.
Remote sensing uses sensors on aircrafts and satellites to obtain spatial data about soil and crop conditions without physical contact. This document discusses potential applications of remote sensing in precision agriculture including using imagery to identify soil characteristics, predict yields, and schedule irrigation. Case studies are presented on using remote sensing to monitor crop variability and weeds. The document concludes that remote sensing techniques can provide a comprehensive soil and crop strategy but need improvements to be economically accessible to all farmers.
The document discusses the application of remote sensing and geographical information systems (GIS) in civil engineering.

Galileo used early optical enhancements in the 1600s to observe celestial bodies and merchant ships arriving in harbor. In the 1880s, Arthur Batut affixed cameras to kites, including an altimeter to determine the scale of images, making him the father of kite aerial photography. By 1903, camera miniaturization allowed cameras to be attached to pigeons for aerial photography, though images were limited. During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, U-2 spy planes detected Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba using remote sensing, changing the course of history.
The document discusses the five key components of a geographic information system (GIS):
1) Hardware includes computer systems, input devices like digitizers and GPS, storage devices, and output devices like displays and printers.
2) Software programs manage the computer system and perform GIS functions like storing, analyzing, and displaying geographic data.
3) Procedures support data capture, storage, processing, analysis, modeling, and display, and require an institutional framework and policies.

Geographical Information System (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying spatially-referenced data. GIS allows users to visualize relationships and patterns in data through maps, globes, reports, and charts. The key components of GIS are data capture, database management, geographic analysis, and result preparation. GIS data comes in vector and raster formats, with vector being better for representing real-world features precisely and raster being better for dense data like elevation or land cover. GIS provides accurate data, better analysis and predictions, and helps answer questions by visualizing spatial relationships. However, GIS software can be expensive and difficult to integrate with traditional maps.

Flood risk mapping using GIS and remote sensing and SARRohan Tuteja
This document summarizes a presentation on using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from RADARSAT-1 to map flooding in Kendrapara District, India. SAR data from four dates in September 2008 were used to map the spatial extent and temporal progression of flooding over time. Traditional flood mapping methods are time-consuming and difficult during floods, while SAR data can penetrate clouds and capture flooding regardless of weather conditions. The methodology involved preprocessing the SAR data, removing noise, correcting geometrically, and classifying images to map flooding and analyze how floodwaters spread over the four dates. Peak flooding occurred on September 22nd, affecting over 37,400 hectares. The results demonstrate how SAR data can effectively monitor flooding and inform disaster response

The tools used ArcGIS10.1 and ERDAS IMAGINE9.1, landsat images of 1996, 2003and 2014. From land use / land cover change detection it is found that during 1996-2014, water bodies cover have loss of 4 Sq. Km. Barren land have 146 Sq.Km. loss and forest area with 96 Sq.Km. loss. It is found that urbanization area has gain of 51 Sq.Km. and agricultural land cover also have gain of 195 Sq.Km.
Topology refers to the spatial relationships between GIS features or objects. It is important for network routing and maintaining data quality and integrity when features are shared across layers. Geodatabases provide the strongest topological functionality, storing relationships in topology rules and feature classes. The node-arc data model represents the most common topology, with nodes at intersections and endpoints and arcs between nodes forming polygons. Topology allows for analysis without coordinate data but establishing topology is time-consuming.

staff, time and budget
Goal for this presentation is to:
Share my process of developing an
Enterprise GIS Plan and Framework
Show tools to track and implement
Show examples how the GIS Plan is directly
tied with City initiatives and budget
3. Enterprise GIS
An Enterprise GIS leverages the full value
of investment in GIS resources and yield
cost savings. A new phase in GIS results in
less redundant data and work, greater
efficiency, faster delivery of services, more
integrated approach to decision
making, and improved communication
between departments.
4. ESRI White Paper, July 2003, Enterprise
GIS for Municipal Government
“An enterprise approach to GIS will provide a framework for
the departments of the municipal government to collect
data, share information, collaborate, and conduct cross
departmental analysis in order to become more efficient and
informed about the population, resources, infrastructure, and
the activities that are affecting them. The concept of enterprise
GIS does not stop with just the geospatial information resources
of any one municipality but extends vertically to other levels of
government (federal, state, international) and horizontally to
other municipal governments and private sector organizations
in the same region. The better the information the municipality
has about the public's diverse needs, the better it can manage
and direct its own resources to provide value to its customers
and be accountable to its citizens. In effect, the
implementation of an enterprise GIS will provide the framework
for the municipality to meet its diverse, yet critical, mission in a
modern and integrated manner“.

Develop preplan GIS database for Fire response.
Strategies to Accomplish Goals and Projects
o Project management - Project managers should be knowledgeable in the technical GIS
aspects, data dependencies, and relationships to other business systems.
o Deploying internally - Project duties must be integrated with the daily operations of
project staff if the project is deployed internally.
o Outsourcing - Consider outsourcing projects to external experts because of the projects
complexity and time requirements.
Spatial Data Gaps
o Staffing – The GIS Coordinators time is limited making it difficult to perform necessary
support, training and documentation duties. The use of staff time assigned to GIS editing
and maintenance is difficult because of the demand of daily operations and duties.
o Cost and time – Improved data accuracy is costly if external support is used and time
consuming for the in-house experts to perform essential duties.
Training and support – The introduction of new technologies within the GIS software suite
provides opportunities to develop essential tools to update and maintain spatial data; however
using the new technology requires training and support. The GIS Coordinator receives training
and gives support within time availability which is limited.

16. Governance
and Communication
Governance – To ensure GIS development meets the needs of the City, the GIS program has
been structured with guidance from an IT Steering Committee and GIS Steering Committee.
The IT Director addresses major GIS projects at the IT Steering Committee, represented by
department heads. This committee reviews major projects through concept plans to address City
technological needs and provides funding recommendations.
The GIS Coordinator leads the GIS Steering Committee that represents departmental interests.
The members are at a department head or manager level which allows for communication and
needs at a management level.
Communication – Communication between the GIS Coordinator and the organization happens
at both the management level (up the organization) and technical level (down the organization).
This provides for active communication which impacts every aspect of the management and
support of the GIS program.
The governance committees provides the ability to communicate with City management
concerning the benefits of the GIS investment ensuring budget support and long term
implementation planning strategies. This is also a vehicle to report on the status and success of
GIS.
To communicate at the technical level, the GIS Coordinator meets with spatial data users through
the GIS Users Group. This group meets to understand what GIS is, how it works, and what it
can do for them.

18. Organization and Support Goals
o Continue support for strong leadership to guide GIS development.
o Maintain a strong organizational approach to govern GIS.
o Provide staff resources to support GIS users with user-friendly tools and applications to
consume GIS data.
o Further build the GIS with a systematic approach to short and long term needs.
o Build toward an enterprise GIS with sufficient staff resources.
Organization and Support Projects
Training – For a successful GIS program, it is essential for the GIS Coordinator and power
users to receive training to keep up with the ever advancing software and technology. These
advances provide more robust, user-friendly applications that allow casual users to consume
the information with limited user training.
Support – The following are three areas of support provided by staff to internal departments
who consume GIS data.
Services – The GIS Coordinator provides support services for all departments. These
services include assistance to users, map production, analysis, tabular summaries and
applications.
Project Design – The GIS Coordinator and IT staff assist with the design of technology
related projects.
Project Management – The GIS Coordinator provides project management support for
GIS projects
Strategies to Accomplish Goals and Projects
o Recognize training – Departments with foundational and intra-departmental spatial data
responsibilities need to recognize training as part of the cost of ownership. At times,
depending on the in-house trainer work load and expertise, training classes are most
effective and efficient taken off-site at an ESRI training center. Training costs need to be
within departmental budgets and time constraints.
o Leadership and Communication – Continue building on leadership and communication
skills to enhance the success of the GIS program. In order to sufficiently support services,
project design and project management, the IT Director and GIS Coordinator need to take
leadership roles and communicate with City staff to manage an integrated system.
Project management tools will be used to assist with communication on projects.
o Align and add resources – Align resource planning with the GIS vision and its
development. Add resources as needed at the technical and system administration level
to lighten the load on the GIS Coordinator to assert adequate management of the GIS
program. If required, add additional resources and expertise by outsourcing projects, but
manage them from within the City. Resource planning should also be addressed on an
annual basis depending on GIS management and development. The IT Director, along
with the GIS Steering Committee, will assist in aligning resources.

20. Applications and Tools Goals
o Integrate business systems to provide staff the ability to access operational data by
database query or a mapped feature through a user-friendly application. Daily operations
include assessor, permitting, utility maintenance, zoning, service requests, planning,
citizen complaints and billing information.
o Develop departmental GIS server applications to address specific staff needs.
o Develop interactive web mapping applications for public information.
o Extend GIS usage to mobile operations and data collection.
Strategies to Accomplish Goals and Projects
o Maintain the existing City’s intranet ArcIMS application mapping site using ESRI
ArcMap Server.
o Maintain and expand the publication of maps to the ArcReader viewer using the ESRI
ArcPublisher application. This provides map projects the ability to view and retrieve GIS
information through a viewer application. The ArcReader program extends GIS use in
the field without a wireless connection.
o Develop ArcServer applications. ArcServer is the latest server-based ESRI technology
used for developing end user applications and services for spatial data management,
visualization, and spatial analysis. The applications are browser-based and integrate with
other enterprise systems.
o Test servers will be used to address quality assurance and integration issues.
o Maintenance – Retain annual software maintenance on ESRI and Autodesk software
licenses.
Applications and Tools Gaps
o Training and Knowledge – Expert knowledge to develop the applications and training
for the end-users is needed.
o Time – Lack of staff availability is an issue for development.
o Feasibility – Potential hardware issues for mobility applications and additional cost if
outside experts are used.
21. D – System and Architecture
System and Architecture Goals
o Plan updates in accordance with the hardware replacement cycle
o Define requirements through an analysis of system upgrades and integration
o Continue to test and evaluate upgrades and new technology
o Provide system administration with continued training and research opportunities
o Ensure successful integration with implementing best practices for performance tuning
and optimization
System and Architecture Tools and Projects
o Update SQL Server – SQL Server requires an upgrade to version 2005 to keep current
with supported versions. SQL Server 2005 does not support dts package which provides
communication services between databases. Currently the Assessor’s data is replicated
nightly from AS400 to SQL Server with the dts package.
o Type of work stations for power users – Maintain the current work station replacement
cycle. Review work station needs for power users in GIS and CAD to continue
supporting the applications.
o Server replacement and operating system – Recommend maintaining the current
server replacement and operating system cycle to assure GIS and CAD applications are
compatible and process information efficiently.
