Introduction to GIS
What is GIS ?
An Information System that is used to input,
store , retrieve, manipulate, analyze and
output geographically referenced data or
geospatial data, in order to support decision
making for planning and management of
land use, natural resources, environment,
transportation, urban facilities, and other
administrative records

Components of GIS
• Key components of
GIS are:
– Computer system,
geospatial data, and
users
• Sources of geospatial
data are:
– Digitized maps, aerial
photographs, satellite
images, statistical tables,
and other related
documents

Classification of Geospatial Data
• Graphical data (called geometric data)
• Attributes (called thematic data)

Why GIS is needed ?
Common problems of handing
geospatial information:
Geospatial data are poorly maintained.
Maps and statistics are out of date.
Data and information are inaccurate.
There is no data retrieval service.
There is no data sharing.

Benefits once GIS is implemented
 Geospatial data are better maintained in a standard
format.
 Revision and updating are easier.
 Geospatial data and information are easier to search,
analysis and represent.
 More value added product.
 Geospatial data can be shared and exchanged freely.
 Productivity of the staff improved and more efficient.
 Time and money are saved.
 Better decision can be made.
