2 A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared.

4 GeoInformation system (GIS) Geoinformation system (GIS) is a computer-supported information system used for a digital visualisation and the analysis of geographic features and events happening on them. GIS integrates spatial and other kinds of features within the designed database structure and provides software tools and functions that can be used in analysis and the visualisation of geographic objects. Mostly GIS is graphically oriented, with the possibility of presentaton and design of different forms, from maps, photographs and 3D illustrations to graphs, hystograms and results of statistic surveys. Apart from that, the integrated data structure and standardized tools of the GIS enhance the possibilities of support while researching the data, mutually comparing them, during spatial and time studies, overlapping and more complex analyses of multiple sets of data in space and time. GIS is a working environment that presents the philosophy of analysis established by combining geographic features and information (within the database) and the organized tool set for coordination, analysis, research and descriptive modelling. Very important are also the advantages that GIS methods give in estimation of the quality and analysis of the data, as well as in the deriving of useful information from the statically modelled data. System for database management is of special importance. The advantages of databases include information distribution with the goal of redundancy reduction, which improves the quality and the integrity of a database and enables easier mainenance. The data base contains one or more files structured by certain rules defined by the system for data base management (Data Base Management System DBMS) which approaches to these databases. The advantages of the databases and DBMS are multiple: data is saved on one place, but also structured and standardized, data from different sources can be integrated and used synchronically, the access to data is fast, they are available to many users, etc. In short, GIS is considered to be a tool for making decisions and data managing which we observe from the spatial aspect.

5 GIS Components HARDWARE The hardware is the computer and peripherials on which the GIS operates: Computers Networks Peripherial Devices (printers, plotters, digitalizers, skeners,...) SOFTWARE GIS software provides the functions and tools users need to store, analyze, and display geoinformation: GIS Software Database Software OS Software Network Software DATA One of the most important component of GIS. It is absolutely essential that data be accurate: Vector Data Raster Data Image Data Attribute Data GIS PEOPLE GIS technology is clearly of limited value without people to manage the system and to develop plans for applying it: Administrators Managers GIS Technicians Application Experts End Users Cosumers METHODS Well designed plans and application specific business rules describing how tehnology is applied: Giudelines Specifications Standards Procedures A GeoInformation system (GIS) links location (spatial) adn database (tabular) information and enables a person to visualize patterns, relationships, and trends. This process gives an entirely new perspective to data analysis thath cannot be seen in a table or list format.
