    What is GIS
    By Student: Ali mohammed Ali wali
    Department: Computer Science
    Branch: Information Systems
    GIS stand for A geographic information system
    (GIS) : is A spatial system that creates, manages,
    analyzes, and maps all types of data

    A geographic information system (GIS) is a system


    that creates, manages, analyzes, and maps all types of
    data. 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

    How is GIS used ?

    1- Identify problems
    Illuminate issues that are driven by geography. In
    this story, maps and visualizations connect
    present-day environmental inequalities to
    redlining policies
    2-Monitor change

    Visualize and communicate change. This story


    uses maps to show how humans impact our
    warming planet and shares what we can do to
    create a more sustainable future.

    3-Manage and respond to events

    GIS delivers real-time situational awareness. The


    maps in this story help us understand the spread
    of COVID-19 and the global impact of the
    pandemic
    4-Perform forecasting
    The maps in this story reveal how coastal
    communities are impacted by sea level rise and
    explore data that can help us predict and prepare
    for flooding.

    5-Set priorities

    By analyzing soil health, farmers can determine


    when and where to plant certain crops,
    maximizing yield while minimizing environmental
    impact.

    6-Understand trends

    Visualize data with GIS to gain insights that might


    be missed in a spreadsheet. This story uses maps
    to understand bird populations and migration
    routes.
    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.
    1-Maps

    Maps are the geographic container for the data


    layers and analytics you want to work with. GIS
    maps are easily shared and embedded in apps,
    and accessible by virtually everyone, everywhere.

    2-Data
    GIS integrates many different kinds of data layers
    using spatial location. Most data has a geographic
    component. GIS data includes imagery, features,
    and basemaps linked to spreadsheets and tables.

    3-Analysis

    Spatial analysis lets you evaluate suitability and


    capability, estimate and predict, interpret and
    understand, and much more, lending new
    perspectives to your insight and decision-making.
    4-Apps

    Apps provide focused user experiences for


    getting work done and bringing GIS to life for
    everyone. GIS apps work virtually everywhere: on
    your mobile phones, tablets, in web browsers,
    and on desktops.
