What Is GIS ?
5
What is GIS ?
Geographic Information Systems– G IS– Managing geographic space using information
technology Spatial Information Systems (SIS)
– A better term?– Not widely used
Location-based Services (LBS)– Getting more and more popular– Focus on “services”
6
Benefits of GIS to an Organization
Decreased costs Increased efficiencies Increased customer satisfaction Increased profits

Data

GIS Data - Key Concepts
Layers Features Surfaces Shape Size Point Line
Polygon Coordinate System Scale Attributes Records Fields Relations
12
Data Layers
13
GIS Data - Layers
GIS map vs. Paper map GIS map contains layers: collections of
geographic objects that are alike– See image on P-2
A layer may contain features or a surface– A layer that is a surface: “Oceans” in image on
P-2– A layer of features: cities, rivers…
14
Data Features
15
GIS Data - Features
A feature is a vector object– The Cities layer may have thousands of city
features.– Features have shape and size
A feature can be represented as a point, line or shape.
16
GIS Data - Features Point features:
– Location represented as: (x,y)– cities, street lights
Line features:– Start (x0, y0),end ( x1, y1)– road, river
17
GIS Data - Features
Polygon feature: – (x0, y0), (x1,y1)… (xN,yN) where
x0=xN and y0=yN
– parcel outline, house outline
18
Data Surfaces
19
GIS Data - Surfaces
A layer may contain a surface Also known as raster layer This is an array (grid) of measured values
for various locations on the earth’s surface See 3 images at the bottom of P-3 Each grid cell represents a unit of surface
area– E.g. 5meters X 5meters
20
Feature Location
21
GIS Data – Feature Location
Features have locations on earth GIS uses a grid to place a feature in the
appropriate location on the map A coordinate system is a grid that has an
origin (0,0) location Locations are specified as (x,y) values at an
x horizontal distance, and y vertical distance from the origin location– See figure on P-4
22
Scale of Displayed Features
23
GIS Data – Scale of Displayed Features Can zoom in to see features at a closer range. The zoom action changes the scale of the map Scale: the relationship between the size of
features on the map, and the size of the corresponding places in the real world
1:1,000,000 means features on map are one million times smaller than their true size– See figure on P-5
24
Attributes of Features
25
GIS Data – Feature’s Attributes
Information about features in a layer are stored in a table– The table has a record (row) for each feature in
the layer– The table has a field (column) for each category
of information – these categories are called attributes
– The table is known as the attribute table of a layer (see image on bottom of P-6)
26
Relations between Features
27
GIS Data – Spatial Relations
Features have spatial relations Can ask questions about features, but also
can ask questions about relations between features:– E.g. which roads cross Main St. ?– Which state’s capital city is closest to LA ?
28
Examples of Data Layers
29
Common Feature Data Layers
Road centerline layer Zip code polygon layer Control layer Survey layer Property boundaries (cadastral) layer Building outline layer Others? Business related layers?
30
Common Surface Data Layers
Temperatures layer Elevations layer Terrain layer Others?

Hands-on Exercises
Chapter 3 – Exploring ArcMap
35
Chapter 3 – Exploring ArcMap
ArcMap: map display, analysis and some editing.
Introduction to the interface of ArcMap (P-15)– Main menu– Toolbars– Table of content (on left)– Map Display (on right)
36
Chapter 3 – Exploring ArcMap
Objectives:– 3a: Display map data– 3b: Navigate a map– 3c: Looking at feature attributes
37
3a: Display Map Data
Start ArcMap Open an existing map file: .mxd Turn display of layers on/off Zoom in / Zoom out Pan Identify features View full extent
38
3b: Navigate a Map
Create / use bookmarks for navigation Measure distances
39
3c: Looking at Feature Attributes
Open an attribute table corresponding to a later:– A feature on the map corresponds to an
attribute in the attribute table– Select an attribute corresponding feature
selected (P-42)

Your Project
42
Your Project – Key Objectives
Apply the knowledge you gain in this course to a real-world organization.
Show how using the GIS technology you learn in this course improves a particular organization.
Select a company (or sector), research, determine and document the extent of its current use of GIS technology.
Propose new, GIS-related, ideas which will further enhance the organization (organization).
43
Your Project
Graduate students expected to explore their topics to a substantially greater depth then undergraduate students.
Individually meet with each student to define topic and scope.
Project proposal due just before class in 2 weeks.
5% of your final course grade. Refer to the “Project Requirements” doc.
44
Your Turn: Hands-on
Project meeting with students while you do the hands-on exercises in the book.
