GIS stands for Geographic Information System. It is a computer-based tool used to store, analyze, and visualize geographic data. GIS allows for the integration of different types of data, such as maps, satellite imagery, aerial photographs, and other spatial data, with non-spatial data, such as socioeconomic information or environmental variables. It can be used in various fields, including urban planning, natural resource management, transportation, health, and emergency response, to help make informed decisions and solve complex problems related to geography and spatial relationships.
