ADVANTAGES OF A GIS
The users of GIS can ask unlimited number of
questions using combinations of data retrieval
and transformation functions. Many of these
questions may be extremely difficult to answer
using the conventional methods
Large quantities of data can be stored,
maintained and retrieved at a greater speed and
low cost.
It can perform complex spatial analysis
providing both qualitative and quantitave results
SOFTWARE MODULES
Software modules are required for organizing the
GIS database, integration operation and
processing the output .these modules of GIS can
be classified into following four categories.
Data input and editing
Database management
Analysis/transformation/manipulation
DATA INPUT
Before any spatial analysis or modeling
operations can be carried out in a GIS , it is
necessary to feed it with the requisite data
Broadly categorized, the Earth- surface data for
any GIS application can be derived from various
sources, (FIG)
TYPES OF DATA:
SPATIAL DATA
NON SPATIAL DATA
DATA OUTPUT
The processed output data from a GIS can be
taken in several forms ,hardcopy , softcopy or
electronic
CIVIL ENGINEERING APPLICATION
Revision of (existing) toposheets
Alignment of (new) highways and rail-lines
Location of (Gravity) dam sites
Tunneling
Silting of storage reservoirs
Seepage losses in canals
CONCLUSION
Thus Remote sensing and GIS will be a buzz
world in the development in years future, with
launching of European satellite Galileo recently
will allow more & more use of Geoinformatics in
commercial applications
