Geospatial Information Infrastructure

Geospatial Information Infrastructure (GII) refers to the integrated framework of tools, data, technology, policies, and standards used to collect, manage, analyze, and share geographic information. It enables users—such as governments, businesses, and researchers—to access accurate location-based data for decision-making, planning, and problem-solving. Think of it as an organized system that allows seamless use of maps, satellite images, and spatial data across different platforms, ensuring consistent and reliable geographic information for a wide range of applications like urban planning, disaster response, and environmental management.
