Principle Of GIS Function Of GIS Components of GIS Types of GIS Advantages of GIS Applications of GIS Conclusion Introduction 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. Geographic Information System (GIS) A GIS integrates spatial and other kinds of information within a single system to provide a consistent framework for analyzing geographic (spatial) data. A GIS makes connections between activities based on geographic proximity. The digital data structure can be conceptualized as a set of “floating electronic maps” with a common registration allowing the used to “look” down (drill down) and across the stack of maps. The spatial relationships can be summarized (data base inquiries Principle 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. Function Of GIS 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. Components 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 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. Data Type Vector Points Lines Polygons Raster Cell Pixels Elements Scope OF GIS An information system has a full range of functions to find: Hospitals & Health care Centers Schools, Colleges & Edu. Campus Hotels, Restaurants Banks , ATMs Govt. Offices, Police Stations Railway Stations, Bus Stations, etc. Advantages of GIS
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 Disadvantages of GIS
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. Conclusion User can print and save the image of the required map. User can view different parameters of particular area. User can get path from source to destination. GIS will also provide working hours.
