  1. Mobility and the GIS Experience Brittany Berwanger Fayetteville State University

  2. Table of Contents • Mobility and Geographic Information Systems Defined • How GIS and Mobility Relate • GIS Uses • GIS/Geography Awareness

  3. Mobility and GIS • Mobility • Capable of moving or of being moved readily from place to place • Geographic Information Systems • is a computerized data management system used to capture, store, manage, retrieve, analyze, and display spatial information.

  4. How GIS and Mobility Relate • Mobility means that technology has become portable • This effects communication and the distribution of data • Mobility and the ability to collect and manage spatial data go hand in hand • Most technological devices and software include GPS/GIS and tracks location information which is beneficial to many agencies, companies, and individuals

  5. GIS Uses • National Security/Intelligence • Drones, Field Operations, Situational Awareness, Emergency Response and Recovery • Detect Changes in Land • Crops, Increases and decreases in vegetation, wetlands, desertification • Planning • Urban planning, land use planning, transportation planning, zoning, surveying land

  6. GIS Uses • Census Bureau • Migration flows, demographic data, regional data • Environmental Protection • Forest management, monitor use and disposal of hazardous materials, track efforts in renewable energy use • FEMA • Natural disasters, flood plain maps, national flood insurance

  7. The point? • Life is dynamic • Information is constantly being updated and changed • The ability to transport information obtaining devices is important to data collection as a whole • There are may advancements in the collection of data because of the mobility of technological devices

  8. GIS/Geography Awareness • Not many people know what can be done with GIS and Geography • Not many schools encourage Geography • People need to be more aware of possibilities
