What is GIS?
11
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a
computer-based system including software,
hardware, people, and geographic information
A GIS can:
create, edit, query, analyze, and display
map information on the computer
A “geographic information system” (GIS) is a
computer-based tool that allows you to create,
manipulate, analyze, store and display
information based on its location.

• International organizations
 The World Bank, UN, FAO, WHO, etc.
• Private industry
 Transport, Real Estate, Insurance, Crime, etc.
• Government
 Ministries of Environment, Housing, Agriculture,
Census, NDMA, etc.
 Local Authorities, Cities, Municipalities, etc.
 Provincial Agencies for Planning, Parks,
Transportation, etc.

 Disaster Management
 Tax Mapping
 Water and Sanitation Mapping
 Transportation routing
 Disaster planning
 and more ...

• GIS data has a spatial/geographic
reference
 This might be a reference that
describes a feature on the earth using:
• a latitude & longitude
• a national coordinate system
• an address
• a district
• a wetland identifier
• a road name
• A land parcel
• Etc.
What is Spatial Data?What is Spatial Data?
Spatial data is information
which is linked to a specific
location, for example the
population of a town, or the
occupant of an address.
• A GIS stores information about the world as
a collection of thematic layers that can be
linked together by geography

Two fundamental types of dataTwo fundamental types of data
• Vector
 A series of x,y coordinates
 For discrete data represented as points, lines,
polygons
• Raster
 Grid and cells
 For continuous data such as elevation, slope,
surfaces
• A Desktop GIS should be able to handle both
types of data effectively!

Remote Sensing (RS)Remote Sensing (RS)
• Remote Sensing, process of obtaining information about
land, water, or an object without any physical contact
between the sensor and the subject of analysis.
• Remote Sensing is an extensive science, drawing from
many areas for support and development. Satellite and
digital imagery play an important role in remote sensing;
providing information about the land studied.
• The benefits of remote sensing continue to arise. It can
be used to access hard to reach areas for fieldwork, and
provides a more detailed, permanent and objective
survey that offers a different perspective. Air photos are
still favored and easily accessible sources of information
for classification
RS acquiring informationRS acquiring information
• Remote Sensing means acquiring
information about a phenomena,
object or surface while at a
distance from it. This name is
attributed to recent technology
in which Satellite, space craft
and Drone are used from
collecting information to it.

How data is extracted:How data is extracted:
• Layers such as roads (yellow) and rivers (blue) can
be easily seen from air/satellite photos
• This information is digitized (see next slide),
separated into layers, and integrated into a GIS
Digitizing DataDigitizing Data
• MANUALMANUAL
 Map is fixed to digitizer table
 Control Points are digitized
 Feature Boundaries are digitized in stream or point mode
 The layer is proofed and edited
 The layer is transformed/registered to a known system
• AUTOMATED SCANNERSAUTOMATED SCANNERS
 Digitizing done automatically by a scanner
 There is a range of scanner qualities
 Most utilize the reflection/transmission of light to record data
 “Thresholding” allows for the determination of both line and point
features from a hardcopy map
 Editing still required
• DIRECT DATA ENTRYDIRECT DATA ENTRY
 Coordinate Geometry is used, with GPS playing a vital role
 This involves directly entering in coordinates measured in the field
 These coordinates can then be tagged with attribute data
 This data this then downloaded to a computer and incorporated into a
GIS
