Показать описание
This video defines GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and describes the applications of GIS and GIS mapping across a wide range of disciplines. In this introduction to Geographic Information Systems, Mike Ernst explains the relationship between GIS and urban planning.

GIS uses a wide range of components, including GIS software, hardware networks, data analysis procedures, GIS analysis, and databases. Maps are the heart of GIS, but GIS is more than just maps. GIS enables a more comprehensive and holistic understanding of places and spatial challenges by linking data to geographic features. Watch the video to learn more about how GIS helps urban planners make planning decisions, understand spatial patterns, and engage the public.
