Geo-information Systems (GIS)

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools that help us collect, analyze, and visualize location-based data. They combine maps with data to provide insights into patterns, relationships, and trends in various fields, such as urban planning, environmental management, and transportation. For example, GIS can show where traffic congestion occurs or help identify suitable locations for new parks. By layering different types of information on a single map, GIS enables decision-makers to make informed choices based on spatial relationships, ultimately improving planning and resource management in communities and organizations.
