How Geoinfotech surveyors work with the principles of GIS
Geoinfotech Surveyors work with the Principles of GIS to help both the government agencies and private organizations, ranging from planning and construction to engineering and land boundary determination.
GIS is the preferred technology when it comes to managing data culled from modern surveying technology – mobile mapping, LiDAR, and laser scanning.
As these tools become more precise, surveyors will turn towards GIS technology which has the scale and power to handle the data collected.
ESRI® GIS software solutions are able to make use of the information gathered from the many data formats used in the field and office, enabling Geoinfotech surveyors to provide data to various agencies with the desired format while maintaining the data’s core integrity.
To further discuss GIS, it is important for us to note what GIS is and how GIS can help us, and what it is used for.
WHAT IS GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS(GIS)
This is a piece of software that captures geographic data for the purpose of manipulation, viewing, and analysis in whichever context and parameters the user desires or needs. It can be used to analyze spatial data or geographic information for any given and possible purpose.
HOW IS GIS USED?
Using GIS allows people to see the world in a different way by mapping the position and quantity of things, mapping the density of people and objects, and mapping any changes that occur. GIS also allows us to find out what is happening inside a specific area or nearby a specific area.
More specifically, GIS is used through:
-
Environmental Geography – to analyze the impact people have on the environment.
-
Physical Geography – to study the elements of atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere.
-
Emergency Management Information System – to give real-time data to emergency responders about the geographical layout.
-
Health Geography – to use geographical information to study health-related issues such as disease and illness.
-
Economic Geography – to study economic activities across the earth.
-
Transportation Geography – to investigate the spatial interactions of people or things
How GIS can help us
-
To Improve our decision-making process – decisions are made easier because specific and detailed information is presented about one or more locations.
-
To reduce costs and increase efficiency – especially regarding maintenance schedules, fleet movements, or scheduling timetables.
-
To Improve communication between any involved organizations or departments as the visual format is easily understood by all.
-
For easy recordkeeping – geographical changes are easily recorded by GIS for those responsible for recording the changes.
-
In managing geographically – knowing what is and will be occurring in geographic space in order to plan a course of action.
