Geographic Information System

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a technology that captures, stores, analyzes, and displays spatial or geographic data. It integrates information about locations—such as maps, satellite images, and coordinates—with related data, allowing users to visualize patterns, analyze relationships, and make informed decisions. GIS is used in various fields like urban planning, environmental management, and transportation to solve problems related to geography. Essentially, it helps us understand how different factors are connected in space, making complex spatial data more accessible and actionable.
