Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data in a geospatial form.  The system basically takes different types of data and links it to a particular location.  In a sense, GIS is the merging of cartography and database technology.

Here are some ways we use GIS:

• Resource Management                                       
• Environmental Impact Assessment
• Cartography
• Urban Planning
• Criminology
