Study Notes
Introduction to GIS
- GIS is an integrated collection of computer software and data used to view, manage, analyze geographic information, and model spatial processes.
- It's a tool for working with geographic information.
- GIS applications include: fighting crime, disaster response, endangered species protection, pollution reduction, public health improvement (disease outbreaks), urban planning (population growth), natural hazard analysis and risk assessment, mining, telecommunication network optimization, forestry management, tourism planning, and more
GIS History
- GIS origins are linked to cartography and early attempts at spatial representation.
- Maps played a fundamental role in spatial knowledge development and communication.
- GIS history is intertwined with human history.
Characteristics of Geographic Information
- Everything is related to everything else, but nearer things are more related than distant things. (First Law of Geography)
- Repeating geometric patterns at progressively smaller scales produce irregular shapes and surfaces (Fractal Principle)
