  4. The North Carolina Center for Geographic Information & Analysis (CGIA) For More Information www.cgia.state.nc.us

  5. A computer-based data storage and analysis tool that combines previously unrelated information into a comprehensive picture. What is a Geographic Information System (GIS)?

  6. Corporate Geographic Database Wetlands Flood Zones Land Ownership Landcover Transportation Surface Waters Boundaries Water Lines Elevation Sewer Lines Geodetic Control Soils Aerial Imagery Framework Data Thematic Data

  7. GIS gives you the power to do things that were simply impossible before.

  8. The power to understand complex relationships. Forsyth County: Water Supplies & Water Delivery System

  9. The power to plan for tomorrow, based on an accurate picture of today.

  10. The power to present data in a clear, compelling way.

  11. The power to make informed decisions.

  12. The power to save time, money and even lives.

  13. Crime reduction Public safety enhancement Siting new schools Redistricting Floodplain mapping Growth management Disaster recovery Tax mapping Economic development School bus routing Fire station location Land conservation Environmental impact studies Water & sewer expansion Superfund cleanup GIS can be applied to:

  14. Situation #1: The City of Wilson needed to locate a new fire station.

  15. drive all the roads in the city figure times and distances to each household and business by hand allow a year to complete the study Wilson, N.C. Without GIS:

  16. With GIS: ran more than 40 computer scenarios in just 3 days analyzed benefits of building a new station versus moving an existing one determined best solution: relocate 2 existing stations Wilson, N.C.

  17. Results: reduced time to reach all locations in city from 7 minutes to 4 minutes over 5 years, city saved an estimated $2,000,000 in building costs, equipment, salaries, etc. Wilson, N.C.

  18. Disaster recovery

  19. Floodplain mapping 500 year flood 100 year flood Hurricane Floyd Flooding in Greenville

  20. Watershed planning

  21. Zoning

  22. Smart growth

  23. Police and fire deployment

  24. Residential development

  25. Economic development

  26. Fundallocation Prime Farmland in Johnston County

  27. Intelligent demographics

  28. display Application logic Typical system structure data acquisition storage network

  29. Computer vision Computational Geometry Graphics HCI Research areas

  30. Ellipsoid Projections: Geographic, UTM Distance, Azimuth Datum Geodesy

  31. Elevations • Geoid • DTM representations: TIN, Grid, elevation contours • Problems: • interpolation • rendering • line and area of sight • planning routes in 3D • HCI
