2. Basics of Mapping
Mapping and GIS are two separate but closely related
disciplines, with common roots in geographic
visualization and spatial analysis.
It is impossible to fully understand and use GIS without
having an adequate background in cartographic
terminology and concepts, and it is becoming equally
impossible, at the beginning of the twenty-first century,
to realize the full potential of cartography and mapping
without also understanding the basic principles and uses
of GIS.

3. What is a map?
• Map is the heart of GIS
• Use both as raw materials and final products of GIS
projects
• Maps is to convey information, abstractions, and
simplification, and representation of reality
• Defined as a unique and complex combination of
image, language, and mathematics (woodward 1998)
• “maps is a scale models of reality” – Mark Monmonier
The oldest map in the world showing the homeland of
Babylonia as the center of the world

4. Historical maps
• First maps attempted to explain physical
geography and
• Also to graphically show how the world is
organized according to religious
philosophies
• Where the map makers is the center of the
world (chinese, indian, roman, aztex,
babylonian, even islamic society
Al Idrisi 12th century map. The original map is inverted,
while the picture on the right shows the modern
representation of the map. The map shows Mecca, the
holy city of islam at the center

5. What is GIS
• A spatial system
that creates,
manages, analyzes,
and maps all types
of data

6. • GIS connects data to a map,
integrating location data (where
things are) with all types of
descriptive information (what things
are like there). This provides a
foundation for mapping and analysis
that is used in science and almost
every industry. GIS helps users
understand patterns, relationships,
and geographic context. The benefits
include improved communication
and efficiency as well as better
management and decision making.

7. How is GIS used
Hundreds of thousands of organizations in virtually every
field are using GIS to make maps that communicate,
perform analysis, share information, and solve complex
problems around the world. This is changing the way the
world works.

9. How does GIS work
GIS technology applies geographic science with tools for
understanding and collaboration. It helps people reach a
common goal: to gain actionable intelligence from all
types of data.

10. History of GIS
Within the last five decades, GIS has evolved from a
concept to a science. The phenomenal evolution of GIS
from a rudimentary tool to a modern, powerful platform
for understanding and planning our world is marked by
several key milestones.

GIS is about uncovering meaning and insights from
within data. It is rapidly evolving and providing a whole
new framework and process for understanding.
