
An information handling strategy

The objective: to improve overall decision making

GIS: a formal definition

“A system for capturing, storing, checking,
integrating, manipulating, analysing and displaying
data which are spatially referenced to the Earth.

This is normally considered to involve a spatially
referenced computer database and appropriate
applications software”

Istanbul Technical University
GIT-520E
Another GIS definition

“… a special case of information system where the
database consists of observation son spatially
distributed features, activities or events, which are
definable in space as points, lines or area.

A geographic information systems manipulates data
about these points, lines and areas to retrieve data
for ad hoc queries and analyses”

Why is GIS unique?
GIS handles SPATIAL information


Information referenced by its location in space
GIS makes connections between activities based on
spatial proximity

Spatial data storage model





important in determining the potential applications of the
system
model may also affect the type of analysis work that can be
achieved
hybrid approach to storing graphical and attribute information
Attribute information often stored within standard relational
database
Graphical information is stored in a proprietary file system


21
optimised tools for data handling
although non-standard proprietary system will be difficult to
integrate with other systems, it will tend to be very efficient at
handling large graphics files.

GIS Answers the following questions…

Location: Where is it...?

Condition: What are its attributes?

Trends: What has changed since...?

Patterns: What spatial patterns exist?

Modeling: What if…?

Databases & GIS

At a simple level a GIS
may just form the
graphical interface to a
database

The majority of GIS
applications follow this
example
Spatial data
MapInfo
Linked database table
27
Istanbul Technical University
SQL Query Manager
GIT-520E
Geo-relational Data Models

Linked tables based on the relational model, but
storing geographical information such as:

Geometry

Topology

Attributes
28

GIT-520E
GIS & Analysis

In the context of GIS, analysis is...
“Deriving new information from existing data”

It is also the manipulation of data to solve a problem
e.g. identify all areas within 500m of a lake

Increasing use is made of the analytical capabilities of
GIS,
BUT
many GIS projects only use the software to store and
manage geographical data


Yet analysis often relies on many simple basic GIS
techniques
29
Istanbul Technical University
GIT-520E
Simple Query

The identification of objects and their attributes either
by location or attribute query.
MapInfo
30
Istanbul Technical University
GIT-520E
Buffering

Creation of an area of interest around an object

proximity analysis and environmental impact assessment.
MapInfo
31

Overlays



Layer: A thematic plane of GIS features containing
geographically and logically related data
Overlaying involves superimposing two or more map
layers to produce a new map layer.
Example: a new genetically engineered variety of wheat
grows well in dry environments, with long growing
seasons and alkaline soils. Given the availability of data
on the length of the growing season, moisture regime
and soil alkalinity, where is the best place to plant the
wheat?

32
overlaying (superimposing) several maps showing (separately)
water-budget, growing season length, soil pH, sodium content,
and so on. The GIS analysis can establish the locations where
all the favorable soil conditions coincide, as the places where
the wheat will grow best.
