Introdu
ction to
GIS
Let's consider
a problem !
Ground
Water
Depletion
!
Reasons could be??
More demand of water
Less recharge of GW
resources
• Irregular rainfall patterns
• High Living standards-high water demand
• Urbanization- More runoff than infiltration
• Irrigation
Can you guess How many
litres of water is required to
make a pair of jeans?
7600 Lt !
What's the solution?
As An
administra
tor
•Make sure whatever
rainfall we are having ,
as much as possible of
it infilters into ground
surface and do not
flow as runoff (which
is a waste as from our
problem standpoint)
•How to do that ?
Recharge wells,
recharge ponds ,
check dams
Where will be the
sites for these
construction
Solution !
Recharge well
check dams
Continuous contour trenches

GIS
• Is a system designed for storing, analyzing, and
displaying spatial data.
• Geographic relates to the surface of the earth.
• Information is a knowledge derived from study,
experience, or instruction.
• System is a group of interacting, interrelated, or
interdependent elements forming a complex whole.

SOftware
• GIS software provides the functions and tools needed to
store, analyze, and display geographic information.
• Key software components are:
• Tools for the input and manipulation of geographic
information ·
• Tools that support geographic query, analysis, and
visualization
• A graphical user interface (GUI) for easy access to tools

•Geographic data and related tabular data
(can be collected manually or purchased
from a commercial data provider)
• Since a GIS incorporates data from
multiple sources, its accuracy defines the
quality of the GIS.

DEFINITIONS
AND
TERMINOLOG
Y USED IN GIS
• Geographical Entity
• Entities are the things in the real
world
• Objects are the things in digital
world
•How do we
represent real world
entities in GIS?
Geogra
phic
Entity
• Real world geographic entities are
represented in the form of objects
(point/ line/polygon) having
spatial data and attribute data.
• Spatial data means representing
the location of the
object(Lattitude, longitude,
Elevation)
• Attribute data is the additional
data associated with the object
other than location. It may be a
text, numerical value etc.
What
about
elevation?
•How would be
represent
elevation of a
particular
geographic area?
DEM
Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
• Simplest form of digital elevation of topography.
• Digital representation of elevation of earth.
• It gives elevation, slope , aspect.
• Where would be use DEM????
DEM
•Landslides vulnerability
•Hydrology
Attributes
• Attributes are the characteristics of the map features.
• Hold the descriptive information about the geographic
features.
• Attributes are the non-spatial data(location is not
attched to them direcly) .They are considered
characteristics of entity ..
• Also feed the information in the tabular form in GIS
Attributes
• A point represents a hotel, a line represents the road
and area represents the boundaries of the lake.
• Each spatial entity may have more than one
attribute associated with it , that is, a point
representing the hotel may have a number of rooms,
standard of accommodation and other related info.
Layer
• The visual representation of a geographic dataset
in any digital map.
• Data in a layer is represented with points, lines,
shapes (polygons), or surfaces.
•Layer can be a satellite image as well.
• Maps in a Geographic Information System are
made by combining multiple layers
Digitizatio
n
• Digitization is the process
of converting geographic
data into digital form.
• During this process,
spatial data on maps or
images are traced as
points, polylines or
polygons.
Common errors in Digitization
Digitization error
Topology
Spatial relationships between adjacent or neighboring features
which do not change under any transformation.
Adjacency and containment describe the geometric relationships which
exist between area features. Areas can be described as being adjacent
when they share a common boundary.
Containment is an extension of the adjacency that describes area
features which may be wholly contained within another area feature,
such as, an island within a lake.
Connectivity is a geometric property used to describe the linkages
between line features, like road network.
Topology
•Are there any disadvantage of
topological model ?
Categories/
Types of GIS
•2D GIS- GIS data
with only x, y
coordinates
2D GIS
2.5 D
GIS
• 2.5D maps are an upgrade of
2D maps
• In the 2.5 D case, for the pair of x, y
co-ordinates, a third dimension is
integrated which is dependent
upon the x, y cod.
• Third dimension is defined by
predetermined equation:
• z = f (x, y)
• This third dimension could be
anything like height, soil data,
temp data, rainfall data
•In 2.5 D ,objects appear to be in 3D, but
in reality map is not 3D.
3D GIS
• In the 3-D case, for the same pair of x, y co-
ordinates,~ z co-ordinate is calculated
independently from the x, y pair.
• Example - Terrain Elevation Models(DEM), TIN
2d to 3D
Question
•Is Google street view a 2D, 3D or 2.5 D??
•Is google maps 2d, 2.5D or 3D?
• Can there be a 4D GIS?
• If yes, what could be the 4th dimension?
It's
Time !
In 4D GIS, file formats
support the collection
of time data—
(Temporal Data)
In the vector data file
type (Google maps),
you can add
timestamps as
attributes in the layer
name.
With raster data files,
(Google earth image)
time information is
usually put into the file
WhAt's the use of
4D GIS in civil
engineering?
4D GIS – an alternative to
conventional PERt &cpm
• Construction progress of the project should be
monitored at every time.
• Project monitoring acts as safety step in construction
projects which alerts and advices the organizations
about occurrence of construction failures and delays.
• It includes the process of collecting, analysing, and
recording information regarding the project.
4D GIs in construction planning
and monitoring
• For better understanding of construction sequence
and for providing better visualization of the
construction progress planner makes use of 2D
drawings and integrates it with their corresponding
component schedules in GIS software .
• New advancements in GIS software are use of time
component which helps planners in depicting real
world components.
• More the no. Of dimensions, more will be the
data and more complex the algorithms !
