Preliminaries/Greetings B. Lesson Proper [PowerPoint Presentation] I. HISTORY OF GIS CLAY TABLETS The history of GIS begins with the first maps ever made and has evolved into a common visual language. Around 2300 BC, the Babylonian civilization carved maps into clay tablets, creating some of the earliest maps in history. JOHN SNOW AND CHOLERA In 1854, British doctor John Snow used geography to connect a deadly cholera outbreak to a contaminated water pump. Here, maps begin evolving into more than visualization tools and are used to help analyze geographic data. GIS IN 1960S The field of GIS started in the 1960s as advancements in technology and early concepts of computational geography emerged. Early GIS pioneers created computerized GIS programs. ESRI Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) was founded in 1969 as a consulting firm to help land-use planners and land- resource managers apply computer mapping and spatial analysis. ARCINFO In 1982, ESRI released the first commercial GIS product, ArcInfo. CURRENT GIS Today, technology gives people the ability to create their own digital layers, maps, and apps, allowing for a common language of GIS. II. GIS COMPONENTS GIS stands for Geographic Information System. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION A GIS integrates spatial and attribute information, storing information about where something is with information about what something is. This integrated data is called geographic information. SYSTEM The "system" of a GIS is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing spatial data. A working GIS integrates five key components involved in managing and processing geographic information. Five (5) key components of GIS HARDWARE A GIS operates on a wide range of hardware types, from centralized computer servers to desktop computers (used in stand-alone or networked configurations) to handheld mobile devices, like smartphones. SOFTWARE GIS software provides the functions and tools used to store, analyze, and display geographic information (including a database management system [DBMS]); tools for the input and manipulation of geographic data; and tools that support query, analysis, and visualization of that data. DATA A GIS is useless without data to map and analyze. A GIS will manage and integrate geographic information with other data resources and can even incorporate a DBMS to manage spatial data. PEOPLE GIS technology is of limited value without the people who manage the system and develop plans for applying it to real-world problems. GIS users can be administrators, analysts, cartographers, fieldworkers, or any number of other people throughout an organization. WORKFLOW A successful GIS operates according to a well-designed plan and business rules, which are the models and operating practices (that is, workflows) unique to each organization. III. GIS CAPABILITIES DATA COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT allow you to easily collect, crowdsource, store, access, and share your data efficiently and securely. You can integrate data stored in your business systems and geoenable any data from any source. MAPPING allows you to spot spatial patterns in your data so that you can make better decisions. Maps that you create break down barriers and facilitate collaboration. SPATIAL ANALYTICS AND DATA SCIENCE These are the foundation of GIS. The tools and techniques available in a GIS allow you to examine locations, attributes, and relationships of features to help gain a better understanding of your data. REAL-TIME VISUALIZATION allows you to perform location monitoring of any type of sensor or device. Real-time GIS data accelerates response times and improves safety and overall operational awareness. 3D VISUALIZATION allows you to transform your data into 3D models to allow you to see things that may not be obvious in a 2D map. IMAGERY AND REMOTE SENSING allow you to manage, extract, and analyze collections of imagery and remotely sensed data. FIELD OPERATIONS allow you to support field workflows and enable office and field personnel to work in unison with the same data. GIS maps allow you to change the way that you understand the world. Here are a few ways that maps can go beyond simple visualization: 1. IDENTIFY PROBLEMS - Maps can help reveal geographic patterns that may cause problems in your neighborhood. 2. MONITOR CHANGE - Maps can help detect changes in phenomena that can affect the world. 3. PERFORM SPATIAL ANALYSIS - Maps can help you gain insight into data that might be missed in a spreadsheet. GIS increases the understanding of what is happening at all scales of the planet, and GIS technology plays a crucial role in how you can respond to the world's collective problems.

ARCGIS DASHBOARDS A dashboard is a presentation of geographic information and data that allows you to monitor events, make decisions, inform others, and see trends. Dashboards are designed to display multiple visualizations that work together on a single screen. Dashboards are composed of configurable elements, such as maps, lists, charts, gauges, indicators, and tables. Most elements are data-driven and represent the information you want to present to the intended audience. ArcGIS DashBoards ArcGIS’s out-of-the-box web application focused on authoring and viewing dashboards. Provides key insights to your data on a single screen Part of the ArcGIS Essential Apps Bundle Benefits/Advantages of using ArcGIS Dashboards Centralized data visualization and monitoring Ability to integrate multiple data sources Real-time data representation Interoperability with other data applications (GIS Server, online content and services, etc.) Improved data-driven decision-making Types of dashboards and its purpose Operational dashboards: track key performance indicators, monitor workflows for monitoring real-time data Analytical dashboards: explore data trends, identify patterns and insights for analyzing data Strategic dashboards: visualize high-level metrics to support executive decision-making  II.
