Study Notes

Geographic Information System (GIS) Functions

Primary function is to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data.
Facilitates decision-making by visualizing relationships in spatial data.

Data Usage in GIS

Uses various types of data including maps, satellite imagery, and statistical data.
Integrates both spatial (location-based) and attribute (descriptive) data to provide comprehensive insights.

GIS Analysis and Rare Plant Observations

Analyzes spatial data to track and map the distribution of rare plant species.
Helps identify areas for conservation efforts by using habitat data, environmental conditions, and biodiversity hot spots.

Focus of Geomatics

Primarily focuses on the collection, analysis, and management of geographic data.
Incorporates survey technology, remote sensing, and spatial data management.

Relationship Between GIS and Geomatics

GIS is a key component of the broader field of Geomatics.
Both fields work together to improve the accuracy and efficiency of spatial data management and use.
