Description

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a specialized system crafted for the purpose of capturing, storing, analyzing, managing, and presenting data pertaining to spatial and geographical information. They serve as versatile tools enabling users to generate interactive queries, manipulate data within maps, conduct spatial analyses, and effectively communicate the outcomes of these operations. The discipline that underpins the concepts, applications, and systems of geography is known as geographic information science. Contemporary GIS technologies utilize digital information sourced through diverse methods of digitized data creation. Digitization, typically accomplished through CAD programs with geo-referencing capabilities, stands as the primary method for converting hard copy maps into digital formats. The topics included in this book on Geographic Information Systems are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. The textbook covers the various fields that use this technology as well as the methods associated with it. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of Geographic Information Systems, as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
