4. What is GIS?

5. Geographic Information System
• Geographic – 80% of government data collected is associated
with some location in space
• Information - attributes, or the
characteristics (data), can be used to symbolize and provide
further insight into a given location
• System – a seamless operation linking the information to the
geography – which requires hardware, networks, software,
data, and operational procedures
…not just software!
…not just for making maps!

6. • Many More to Come…
 Environmental impact assessment
 Resource management
 Land use planning
 Tax Mapping
 Water and Sanitation Mapping
 Transportation routing
 And many more ...

7. How does a GIS work?
• 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

8. Types of data
 Two types of data are stored for each item in the
database
• 1. Attribute data:
 Says what a feature is
• Eg. statistics, text, images, sound, etc.
• 2. Spatial data:
 Says where the feature is
 This also of two types -
1. Vector data
2. Raster data:

Data Representation

11. • A GIS stores information about the world as a
collection of thematic layers that can be linked
together by geography

14. Data formation in GIS
 Capturing data
 Scanning: all of map converted into raster data
 Digitising: individual features selected from map as
points, lines or polygons
 Geo-referencing
 Initial scanning digitising gives co-ordinates in inches
from bottom left corner of digitiser/scanner
 Real-world co-ordinates are found for few
registration points on the captured data
 These are used to convert the entire map onto a
real-world co-ordinate system
