A geographic information system captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that refers to or is linked to location.
In the strictest sense, the term describes any information system that integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and displays geographic information. In a more generic sense, GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries (user created searches), analyze spatial information, edit data, maps, and present the results of all these operations. Geographic information science is the science underlying the geographic concepts, applications and systems, taught in degree and GIS Certificate programs at many universities.
Geographic information system technology can be used for scientific investigations, resource management, asset management, archaeology, environmental impact assessment, urban planning, cartography, criminology, geographic history, marketing, and logistics to name a few. For example, GIS might allow emergency planners to easily calculate emergency response times in the event of a natural disaster, GIS might be used to find wetlands that need protection from pollution, or GIS can be used by a company to site a new business location to take advantage of a previously under-served market.What Information System would be best to write a research paper on?I don't know but I've starred you so maybe one of my smart contacts can answer your Q.
Good luck, happy to see you :-)What Information System would be best to write a research paper on?I've asked around, but nobody knows of an IS that meets your professors preference. Best of luck to you... :)
