What is a GIS? 
 
A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based tool for mapping 
and analyzing things that exist and events that happen on the Earth. GIS technology 
integrates common database operations such as query and static analysis. These 
abilities distinguish GIS from other information systems and make it valuable to a 
wide range of public and private enterprises for explaining events, predicting 
outcomes, and planning strategies. Geographic Information Systems -developed in 
Canada about 30 years ago – are among the most exciting and powerful geomatics 
decision-making tools in the world. 
The major challenges in the world today are overpopulation, pollution, 
deforestation, and natural disasters. All of them have a critical geographic dimension 
Whether setting a new business, finding the best soil for growing fruit, pr choosing 
the best route for an emergency vehicle, local problems also have a geographical 
component. GIS will help you to create maps, integrate information, visualize 
scenarios, solve complicated problem, present powerful ideas, and develop effective 
solutions like never before. GIS is a tool used by individuals and organizations, 
schools, governments, and business seeking innovative ways to solve their problems. 
Map-making and geographic analysis are not new, but a GIS performs these 
tasks better and faster than do the old manual methods. And, before GIS technology, 
only a few people had skills necessary to use geographic information to help with 
decision-making and problem solving. Today, GIS is a multibillion-dollar industry 
employing hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. GIS is taught in schools, 
colleges and universities throughout the world. Professionals in every field are 
increasingly aware of the advantages of thinking and working geographically. 
General-purpose geographic information systems essentially perform six 
processes or tasks: input, manipulation, management, query and analysis, 
visualization.
