Presentation Transcript

  1. GIS Introduction &Overview Osh Technological University Gulzara Mamazhakypova gulzara.mamazhakypova@mail.ru OshTU

  2. Lesson Objectives • What is a GIS? • Functions of GIS • GIS applications

  3. What is a GIS? Geographic Information Systems (GIS)- is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage and present all types of geographically referenced data. www.esri.com

  4. Geographic data links: • Place • Time • Attributes

  5. Types of attributes • Nominal • Ordinal • Interval • Ratio • Cyclic

  6. Fundamental ways of representing geography • Discrete objects • Fields

  7. Types of spatial data: • Vector- • Raster

  8. A working GIS integrates five keycomponents: • Hardware • Software • Data • People • Methods

  9. GIS Tasks General purpose GIS essentially perform six processes or tasks. • Input • Manipulation • Management • Query and Analysis • Visualization

  10. Related Technologies • Desktop Mapping • CAD • Remote Sensing and GPS • DBMS

  11. Application of GIS • GIS in agricultureGIS is used in a variety of agricultural applications such as managing crop yields, monitoring crop rotation techniques, and projecting soil loss for individual farms or entire agricultural regions.

  12. GIS in electric/gas utilities Cities and utilities use GIS every day to help them map and inventory systems, track maintenance, monitor regulatory compliance, or model distribution analysis, transformer analysis, and load analysis.

  13. GIS in geology Geologists use GIS every day in a wide variety of applications. You too can use GIS to study geologic features, analyze soils and strata, assess seismic information, or create 3-dimensional displays of geographic features.

  14. GIS in the environment GIS is used every day to help protect the Environment.You can use GIS to produce maps, inventory species, measure environmental impact, or trace pollutants. The environmental applications for GIS are almost endless.

  15. GIS in transportation GIS can be used to help you manage transportation infrastructure or help you manage your logistical problems. Whether monitoring rail systems and road conditions or finding the best way to deliver your goods or services, GIS can help you.

  16. GIS in risk management A GIS can help with risk management and analysis by showing you which areas will be prone to natural or man-made disasters. Once identified, preventive measures can be developed that deal with the different scenarios.

  17. GIS in hydrology You can use GIS to study drainage systems, assess groundwater, and visualize watersheds, and in many other hydrologic applications.

  18. GIS in mapping Mapping is an essential function of a GIS. People in a variety of professions are using GIS to help others understand geographic data. ......And others……
