GIS (Geographic Information Science)

Geographic Information Science (GIS) is the study and use of technology to collect, analyze, and visualize spatial data—information tied to specific locations on Earth's surface. It combines tools like maps, software, and data analysis to help understand patterns, relationships, and trends in geographic areas. GIS is used in urban planning, environmental management, transportation, and more, enabling informed decision-making by providing a visual and analytical understanding of the physical world. It effectively translates complex geographic information into meaningful insights for both professionals and the public.
