2. Geographic Information Systems is a vast field in
Information Technology and, also has various
applications in multiple domains. GIS is used to
create awareness and to share knowledge regarding
the environment, natural resources, potential disasters
and risks and planned urban routes.
Introduction

3. What is GIS ?
A geographic information
system (GIS) is a
computer system that
analyzes and displays
geographically
referenced information..

4. APPLICATION OF
GIS
 We all knows that how much important is GIS at the present time
and hopefully it will be even more important in the future.
Major application of gis can be grouped into 5 categories as follows
:
GIS
Applications

11. Conclusion
Looking at this robust system, its applications and uses are never-ending, just like
its vast amount of geospatial data sets and databases. Day by day, analysts and
researchers are innovating new applications of this technology. The count of the
applications is never going to fall. Using GIS is not just limited to above 6-7
applications but it has around 1000+ uses and applications in various fields.
It seems that in the near future, GIS is going to get integrated with everything.
