GIS: A ic Approach to Problem Solving GIS is a : Hardware, Software, and are the most commonly mentioned. The most important are considered last or forgotten entirely: People and Methods. Our focus is on educating students on how to solve spatial problems by asking the correct methodological questions. Cartographic Model II. DATA STRUCTURE / DATA MODEL A. Raster. Vector III.
