A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying data related to positions on Earth's surface. GIS can show many different kinds of data on one map. This enables people to more easily see, analyze, and understand patterns and relationships.
Gis technology Application in Urban Planning in Kenya - Mathenge MweheMathenge Mwehe
GIS technology is an indispensable tool that can transform the way urban planning is done in Kenya. However, Kenya urban planning system is still tied up in the outdated manual planning systems with disastrous results in return. If Kenya Is to achieve vision 2030 goal of spatial prosperity and well planned urban land uses, it’s imperative that it incorporate and integrate the GIS technology in its devolved planning offices.

Applications of GIS in Public Health EngineeringVignesh Sekar
GIS is used to support decision making for planning and management of land use, natural resources, environment, transportation, urban facilities, and other administrative records. Remote sensing and GIS makes easier to get valuable information about the study area. GIS enables us to integrate different layers and to manage large database. It gives more accurate results when compared to conventional methods. Hence GIS is proved to be a powerful tool in managing spatial and non spatial databases in suitability evaluation.
This is presentation is intended for middle school students. It provides a short introduction to GIS and how to use GIS in the real-world.

Automating Crime Data to Import into GISSafe Software
Using FME, we have been able to take raw data from our records management system for Police (which is in a propriety Linux system) and be able to transform it into our ArcGIS SDE environment for online mapping applications. The crimes data does not have a coordinate system or any other spatial data associated with it except addresses- FME helps us add the spatial component to be able to use it for our web map services. With additional help from FME Server, we automated this process to run nightly and to be able to give us email notifications when the workbench succeeds or fails.

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 is a precise analytical tool that provides accurate spatial data for construction companies to start their projects through cost-effective solutions, precise analysis, etc. Every phase of the infrastructure life-cycle can be enhanced through GIS.
Covenant University location navigation system (CU Naviloc) built on the Android
platform is a mobile based system which can be easily accessed from an android
mobile device across any location, downloadable on Google play store and
deployable anywhere in the world. In this study,Computer-aided design as well as
building Information modelling (CAD/BIM) system applications were introduced to
the simulation of Covenant University, a smart and compact campus whose edifice
elaborates the need for the development of a three dimensional (3D) virtual model of
locations as an advancement over the existing 2D model representation of maps on
the Google map and Google Earth platform. Therefore, this research work outlays the
development of three dimensional models (CU NAViLoc Model) for details of
information at Covenant University as well as the requirements for its development
and implementation for cooperate representation of the institution. A three
dimensional map of CU was packaged into a location navigation system and was
implemented using Unreal Engine, Trimble SketchUp and Revit to effect a user
friendly, smarter and multi-dimensional viewable user interface. CU Naviloc explore
the advantage of the rich benefits of building information models and geographic
information systems to build a free-roam navigator, based on a well-updated model of
Covenant University location map. The benefits of this system is not limited to 3D
capability, real time similarity, portability, no downtime on access, and progressive
scalability with zero or little loss of data. The usage of the CU Naviloc system
requires free download and installation of the app and internet presence.
INTRODUCTION TO GIS AND GEOREFRENCING.pptxMEGHANA S
Georeferencing is the name given to the process of transforming a scanned map or aerial photograph so it appears “in place” in GIS. By associating features on the scanned image with real world x and y coordinates, the software can progressively warp the image so it fits to other spatial datasets.
Leveraging ArcGIS Platform & CityEngine for GIS based Master PlansEsri India
Sustainable, scalable and future ready urban development is one the key priorities in India as well globally. Major government programs i.e. Smart Cities and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) aim to build foundations to achieve this.
For any planned development, master plan is a starting point. A master plan provides a long term blueprint that guides the sustainable planned development of the city. Use of GIS for master planning is not new. GIS-based Master Plans will help in different types of urban planning exercises, e.g. preparation of development plan, zonal plan, utility plan, infrastructure plan, etc. Even Smart City program and AMRUT programs mandate use of GIS for master plan creation.
ArcGIS is a complete platform for end-to-end city planning, design and management. The webinar illustrates how ArcGIS Platform and 3D capabilities of CityEngine provides a complete set of tools for end-to-end GIS based master plan creation and updation.
GIS is a computer-based tool used and managed by people to efficiently capture, store, integrate, analyze and display spatial (geographically referenced) data & associated attribute data

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
