WHY GIS (Geographic Information Systems)?

GIS is a part of our life everyday and we may not even be aware of it. The roads you

drive on are designed using GIS to analyze traffic volumes and other pertinent data to

determine the best locations, materials, and maintenance schedules. The forests you drive by everyday are managed using GIS to analyze health issues, harvesting capabilities,

reforestation opportunities, fire dangers, and more. Most utility companies rely on GIS to

develop the infrastructure that allows their companies to function; water, electrical, phone

and oil and gas lines are mapped , monitored, and analyzed all using GIS.Law enforcement is using GIS to plot and track crimes and correlate crime statistics

helping to monitor and even predict the probability of a crime occurring.

WHAT IS GIS (Geographic Information Systems)?

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a computer-based tool used in a variety of

industries to map and analyze where things exist and events happen on earth.GIS technology integrates common database operations such as query and statistical

analysis with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits offered by maps.These abilities distinguish GIS from other information systems and make it valuable for

use in a wide range of applications for explaining events, predicting outcomes, and

planning strategies.Additionally, a GIS can be used to perform analytical operations to support decision-

making processes, such as site suitability analyses for future landfills or soil erosion

potential within a specific region. A GIS can also answer "what if...?" questions based ondifferent scenarios and situations. A GIS can be used to automate existing operations

(e.g., map production and maintenance), as well as provide enhanced capability to

analyze geographic information for decision-making purposes.One of the most powerful features of a GIS is its ability to simultaneously use multiplediscrete spatial data sets to answer questions that were previously impossible to answer

using conventional mapping methods. By inputting spatial information into a GIS, we can

query data based on its location in the real world. When we link our spatially referenceddata to an existing database and query based on a geographic identifier and attribute, we

add another dimension to our query, giving us results impossible to achieve from a

database alone.

Any organization, government private is in some way or another strongly linked to the

geography in which it operates. A GIS that has been designed in a proper manner has the

capability of providing quick and easy access to large volumes of data of these

geographical features. The user can access & select information by area or by theme tomerge one data set with another, to

analyze spatial characteristics of data, to search for particular features, to update quickly

and cheaply and asses alternatives.



In simpler terms, GIS allows the user to understand geographic information in an easy

manner without having to go through large volumes of confusing data that is in tabular form. Visualizing the geography of a particular location is no doubt easier that trying to

analyze raw data.

The potential and substantial benefit of using GIS makes it a very important tool

making the work of any organization easier and more productive. Some of the

potential benefits of GIS are:

♦ Opportunity to reduce sets of manual maps held and associated storage costs.

♦ Faster and more extensive access to geographic information.

♦ Improved analysis e.g. of areas, distances, patterns, etc.

♦ Better communication of information to public officers, members.

♦ Improved quality of services.

♦ Better targeting and coordination of services.

♦ Improved productivity in providing public information.

♦ Improved efficiency in updating maps.

♦ The ability to track and monitor growth and development over time.

♦Improved ability to aggregate data for specific sub areas.

Thus GIS's have become indispensable tools for governance, commerce, and

environmental and social science.

WHAT CAN GIS DO FOR US AND ITS APPLICATIONS?

GIS provides a commonly understood and powerful framework for collecting,organizing, and managing structured data. Many different types of data can be displayed

on maps and a great deal of information can be summarized. The visual display of

information can reveal patterns and relationship that may not be apparent in tabular displays. GIS is a tool that can assist program objectives through project planning,

estimate creation, monitoring and evaluation, public information and donor reporting.

Most simply, it can display information on a map and help staff to visualize projects.Information on a map is simply easier to read than in an Excel file.

a) GIS in Electric Power Generation System

Electricity is an essential part of our everyday lives. The electric distribution company is

responsible to manage the power distribution system safely and efficiently, which deliver

electric power from Area feeder to out service drops.In Pakistan, the main drawbacks of the distribution system are poor maintenance of the

installed facilities, lack of planned network, and lack of monitoring and prevent losses

and manual updating of consumer records etc.



A transmission line is one of essential infrastructures of the power supply system. In the

site evaluation process for those facilities, it is necessary to carefully consider not only

technical issues, but also the impact on natural environment, the influence on localcommunities, and various regulations.

GIS allows new processing methods to be used and provides high-quality

presentation of processed data. These characteristics make it an unavoidable decisionmaking tool in situations when data relevant to a decision include a spatial component.

GIS is by no means a system that will give a final solution to a user, but it will provide

the possibilities for a better and more organized analysis of information, which is a prerequisite for making quality decisions.

b) Project Planning

Maps help to layer information such as population, infrastructure and physical

characteristics like rivers and mountains. They can also depict where projects have

previously been implemented and what type. Displaying features like locations of public

facilities in relation to proposed projects can add a new dimension to decision making.All of these maps provide representation of data and are valuable communication tools

for program managers to use in decision-making.

c) Estimates

GIS has spatial computing capabilities. It can calculate the area of a village or

agricultural plot, the length of a road, or the distance between point A and point B - such

as the distance to a market. All of these factors can help to estimate the cost of projects.

d) Monitoring & EvaluationGIS can display projects on a map: completed, ongoing, and projected. It can also display

amount spent, number of beneficiaries, and project type. This is a valuable tool for helping program staff to monitor and evaluate all projects. These maps can also be

utilized for participatory monitoring and evaluation with the communities, to share and

discuss with the communities, partners, and stakeholders. Thematic GIS maps are also

very useful when evaluating a program or when doing specific case studies to assess atopic more in-depth.



e) Public Information

GIS can be used for public information i.e. to make maps that show streets and names,

stores, offices, markets, mosques and wells. These are valuable tools to provide tocommunities so they can make more informed decisions when proposing projects.

f) Find What's InsideUse GIS to monitor what's happening and to take specific action by mapping what's

inside a specific area.

g) Find What's Nearby

Find out what's occurring within a set distance of a feature by mapping what's nearby.

h) Map Change

Map the change in an area to anticipate future conditions, decide on a course of action, or to evaluate the results of an action or policy.

Map change to anticipate future needs. For example, a police chief might study how

crime patterns change from month to month to help decide where officers should beassigned.

Map conditions before and after an action or event to see the impact. A retail analyst

might map the change in store sales before and after a regional ad campaign to see where

the ads were most effective.

i) Map Densities

While you can see concentrations by simply mapping the locations of features, in areas

with many features it may be difficult to see which areas have a higher concentration than

others. A density map lets you measure the number of features using a uniform areal unit,such as acres or square miles, so you can clearly see the distribution.

j) Map Where Things Are

Mapping where things are lets you find places that have the features you're looking for,and to see where to take action.

Find a feature—People use maps to see where or what an individual feature is.

Finding patterns—Looking at the distribution of features on the map instead of just anindividual feature, you can see patterns emerge.
