this slide will help you to learn about gis applications in human life, its usefulness and necessity is broad.

3. INTRODUCTION
GIS is a collection of computer hardware,
software and geographic data to capture,
input, store, retrieve, manipulate, analyze,
display and output all forms of
geographically referenced information or
geospatial data in order to support decision
making for planning and management.
GIS has a large application in many
administrative ,institutional & commercial
fields.

4. Major GIS application Areas:
1. Urban management
2. Land Resources
3. Environment
4. Transportation
5. Facilities management
6. Business & location
based service
7. Public services
8. e-Government.

6. URBAN MANAGEMENT
 GIS technology is used to analyze the urban
growth and its direction of expansion, and
to find suitable sites for further urban
development.
 Every day,Urban planners use Geographic
Information System (GIS) technology to
research, develop, implement, and monitor
the progress of their plans.
 GIS provides planners, surveyors, and
engineers with the tools they need to design
and map their neighborhoods and cities.

7. Another Fields Of Urban Management
 Land use/Zoning
 Transportation planning
 Mapping environmental health &
justice
 Water Quality & availability
 Population forecast
 Identify vulnerability
 Monitoring wells, hazardous waste
sites
 Mapping access to health care
facilities.

8. LAND RESOURCE
• By the help of GIS technology the agricultural,
water and forest resources can be well
maintain and manage.
• Revenue can be increased, operations and
maintenance cost can be reduced when GIS is
used to help manage space.
• In a number of countries, the separate
functions of land administration are being
drawn together through the creation of digital
cadastral databases, with these database they
can reuse land for suitable needs ,digital
taxation and many other purposes.

9. – GIS can be used in managing
transportation and logistical problems.
– GIS can help in monitoring rail systems
and road conditions and route modelling.
– Transport department use GIS to plan for
a new railway , highway route to manage
infrastructural and topographical data
into the GIS platform.
– Also used in Airline & airport route
planning,flight navigation system.

10. ENVIRONMENT
 The environmental professional uses GIS to
produce maps, inventory species, measure
environmental impact, or trace pollutants.
The environmental applications for GIS are
almost endless. It can be used to monitor the
environment and analyze changes.
 GIS is used to indicate the degree of
deforestation and vital causes for the
deforestation process. GIS is used to monitor
deforestation & it’s rate from past to present.

11. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
 GIS has many uses and advantages in
the field of facility management. GIS
can be used by facility managers for
space management, visualization and
planning, emergency and disaster
planning and response.
 GIS platform provides more facilities
for smart planning , sustainable
practices , smart management &
services , smart policy making , smart
end-to-end solutions.

12.  The field of GIS is developing rapidly,
finding applications in an ever-
widening range of commercial context.
 GIS can keep a track of where the
customers are located, site business,
target marketing campaigns, and
optimize sales territories.
 It helps in market analysis,suitability
analysis and for finding the right sites
to locate new business and grow
existing ones.It has a great use in
home delivery business.
BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL BASIS

13. PUBLIC SERVICE
– Public safety and defense/military.
– Crime analysis,fire prevention,
emergency management.
– Epidermiology/Disease Tracking,Public
health analysis
– Data collecting,research,mapping To
prevent river erosion.
– A local government need GIS to map
flooding risk areas for evaluate the
flood potential level in the surrounding
area.

14. e-Government
– In Local Governments, GIS is used to
solve taxation problems. It is used to
maximize the government income.
– Public works/infrastructure
management (roads,water,electicity)
– Land planning and environmental
management.
– property records and management.
– Using GIS we can develop a digital
taxation system.

15. GIS IN AGRICULTURE
GIS is useful in many agricultural aspects to analysis
crop production,corn belt mapping,soil
mapping,weather observation,climatic change&its
effect for crop.
Dairy Industry:
o GIS is used in a various application in the dairy
industry, such as distribution of products,
production rate, location of shops and their selling
rate.
o It can be also possible to understand the demand of
milk and milk products in different region. GIS can
prove to be effective tool for planning and decision
making for any dairy industry it has added new
vistas in the field of dairy farm and management.

16. Continued-
• Irrigation water management:
o Water availability for irrigation purposes for
any area is vital for crop production . Irrigation
requirements of crop were determined by
considering the factors such as
evapotranspiration, Net Irrigation
Requirement, Field irrigation Requirement,
Gross Irrigation Requirement, and month total
volume of water required, by organizing them
in GIS environment.

17. Economic Development
• GIS technology is a valuable tool used for the
economic development.
• It helps in site selection, suitability analysis,
and for finding the right sites to locate new
business and grow existing ones.
• Within economic development, GIS is used to
support the emerging trend of economic
gardening, a new way to foster local and
regional economic growth by existing small
business in the community.
