Why Is GIS Unique?
• GIS handles Spatial information– Information referenced by its location in space
• GIS helps make connections between features based on spatial proximity
• GIS addresses and helps to evaluate relationships between otherwise un-relatable data
![Page 21: GIS Across the Curriculum](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5554c28fb4c90559398b4f3e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
If you have some sort of information (current, past, or projected)
andyou have a location to attach to that information, you can analyze it in GIS.

GIS is the best way to answer spatial questions
like…• Which properties are within 500 feet
of Lawrenceville Road?• How many people live within a mile
of the elementary school?• What terrain is visible from the
Franklin Moore Library?• When and where might the next
hurricane hit?
