“GIS is a computer system capable of
assembling, storing, manipulating, and
displaying geographically referenced
information, i.e. data identified according to their
locations.”
“A GIS is an organized collection of computer
hardware, software, geographic data, and
personnel to efficiently capture, store, update,
manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of
geographically referenced information.”
What Is GIS?
4
Data Capture
Data sources are mainly obtained from manual digitization and
scanning of aerial photographs, paper maps, and existing digital
data sets.
Database Management and Update
data security, data integrity, and data storage and retrieval, and
data maintenance abilities
Geographic Analysis
The collected information is analyzed and interpreted
qualitatively and quantitatively.
Preparing Result
One of the most exciting aspects of GIS technology is the
variety of different ways in which the information can be
presented.
Principle
5
Data Capture
The input of data into a GIS can be achieved through many different
methods of gathering. For example, aerial photography, scanning,
digitizing, GPS or global positioning system is just a few of the ways a
GIS user could obtain data.
Data Storage
Some data is stored such as a map in a drawer, while others, such as
digital data, can be as a hardcopy, stored on CD or on your hard drive.
Data Manipulation
The digital geographical data can be edited, this allows for many
attribute to be added, edited, or deleted to the specification of the
project.
Query And Analysis
GIS was used widely in decision making process for the new
commission districts. We use population data to help establish an equal
representation of population to area for each district.
Visualization
This represents the ability to display your data, your maps, and
information.
Functions
6
Hardware
Computer System, Scanner, Printer, Plotter, Flat Board
Software
GIS software in use are MapInfo, ARC/Info, AutoCAD Map, etc. The
software available can be said to be application specific.
Data
A GIS will integrate spatial data with other data resources and can even use
a DBMS, used by most organization to maintain their data, to manage
spatial data.
Geographic data and related tabular data can be collected in-house or
purchased from a commercial data provider.
People
GIS users range from technical specialists who design and maintain.
Method
The map creation can either be automated raster to vector creator or it can
be manually victories using the scanned images.
Components
7
Vector
Points
Lines
Polygons
Raster
Cell
Pixels
Elements
Data Types
8
Vector
Points, lines, polygons
More closely resembles real world
9
Raster
Areas broken into
‘pixels’ or cells
Each cell contains data
Good at representing
dense data
land cover
elevation
10
Raster VS Vector
11
Good Representation of data.
Use small File Size.
Accurate map output.
Advantages (Vector)
12
Complex Data Structure.
Expensive Technology.
Analysis is Complex.
Disadvantages
(Vector)
13
Simple Data Structure.
Cheap Technology.
Analysis is Simple.
Same grid cell for several attributes.
Advantages (Raster)
14
Large Data Volume.
Inefficient use of computer storage.
Difficult network analysis.
Less accurate or attractive maps.
Loss of information when using large cells.
Disadvantages
(Raster)
15
GIS allows us to view, understand, and visualize data in many ways
that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps,
globes, reports, and charts.
A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at
your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared.
GIS give the accurate Data.
Better Predictions and Analysis.
Advantages of
GIS
16
Excessive damage in case of internal fault. Long outage periods as 
Repair of damaged part at site may be difficult.
Expensive software.
Integration with traditional map is difficult.
Disadvantages of GIS
