Principles of Geographic Information Systems
- Share to:
This book was originally designed for a three-week lecturing module on the principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to be taught to students in all education programmes at ITC as the second module in their course.
A geographic information system is a computer-based system that supports the study of natural and man-made phenomena with an explicit location in space. To this end, the GIS allows data entry, data manipulation, and production of interpretable output that may provide new insights about the phenomena.
There are many uses for GIS technology, including soil science; management of agricultural, forest and water resources; urban planning; geology; mineral exploration; cadastre and environmental monitoring. It is likely that the student reader of this textbook is already educated in one of these fields; the intention of the book is to lay the foundation for the reader to also become proficient in the use of GIS technology.
