Description
About the Book
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a sophisticated technology designed to capture, analyze, store, and manipulate spatial or geographic data. GIS enables the editing of map data, conducting interactive queries, and performing in-depth spatial analysis, supporting location-based services that rely on effective visualization and data interpretation. These capabilities are widely applied across various sectors, including environmental science, engineering, defense, sustainable development, transportation, climatology, and telecommunications. GIS is integral to functions such as data analysis, hydrological modeling, topological modeling, and cartography. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of geographic information systems. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.Book Synopsis
