  5. Why using Geographical Information Systems (GIS)?For the purpose of this study, the following advantages of using a GIS proved to be most useful: *Visualization of spatial data, particularly the distribution of agricultural open spaces in a city. * Simple analytical functions such as calculation of the sizes of agricultural areas. * Potential for updating digital maps in the future, and extension to a greater range of topics and layers. * Possibility to print hardcopies of maps showing any desired selection of topics and areas in any scale, for discussions with stakeholders. * Linkage of vector data in maps with attribute data such as type of crops grown or number of farmers.

  6. * High flexibility: According to the respective local contexts and available data sources, a wide variety of spatial data can be integrated and combined for optimal outcome: Satellite imagery, aerial photography (digital or analogue), topographic or thematic maps of all scales, cadastral maps, GPS measurements etc * Possibility for data overlay in order to investigate relations with various relevant factors, e.g. designated land use, irrigation water quality, socioeconomic variables etc.

  7. Following are the advantages of using a GPS

  8. Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS is widely available in the agricultural community and its potential is growing. Farm uses include mapping yields (GPS + combine yield monitor), variable rate planting (GPS + variablerate planter drive), variable rate lime and fertilizer application (GPS + variable-rate spreader drive), variable rate pesticide application (GPS + variable-rate applicator), field mapping for records and insurancepurposes (GPS + mapping software) and parallel swathing (GPS + navigation tool). Terms associated with GPS are listed in the Glossary. Geographic Information System (GIS) software empowers those working in agriculture and land management to gain a clear view of the environment, surroundings, and the factors that influence them.
