Logical flow chart of analytical operations within a GIS framework. This figure diagrams the logical structure of GIS operation. An initial geographic question drives the data collection. Commonly data collection is done by either manually digitizing data from appropriate maps or by importing tabular data which is referenced with georeferenced coordinates that define the geographic position of the tabular (attribute) data. The data is then converted to a digital format and is entered into a database where it is stored as integrated map and attribute data. The analytical process then manipulates both map and attribute data through the linkages that GIS establishes between them. Two types of output are common: tabular (summary data, statistics, reports) and cartographic (maps, map files, and map overlays). Figure 2.

Program Information Instructional Programs Index College Catalog Faculty Geographic Information Systems Associate in Applied Science Degree Certificate GIS is a rapidly emerging field in technology. Green River offers a hands-on learning environment that prepares you to embark on this new and exciting career path. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a database management system that handles large amounts of information in a digital map format. It organizes this information into computer databases, performs various data manipulations, and analyses and displays spatially referenced information both graphically and numerically. GIS efficiently manages sophisticated databases by improving information management, resulting in better decision-making capabilities. GIS technology is used by a wide variety of businesses and agencies. It has environmental applications, as well as planning, surveying, and mapping applications. It also applies to: election administration and redistricting infrastructure management oil, gas, and mineral exploration

Digital Data and Geographic Information Systems On a planet of finite resources faced with mounting population pressures, geographic information systems already have become indispensable for resource management, policy assessments, and strategic decisions. CONGRESSMAN GEORGE E. BROWN Chairman, House Science, Space, and Technology Committee quoted in GISDEX Express D uring the past decade, a revolution has drastically altered the nature of cartography. Beginning with efforts to automate merely the production of standard map products through the use of various computer technologies, a new industry evolved known as geographic information systems (GIS) that encompassed such processes as automated cartography, remote sensing from earth-orbiting satellites, and the sophisticated analysis of geographic information. Now the emphasis is on varied uses of geographic information in digital forms. In this environment, maps are frequently viewed as merely one of a wide variety of potential products. It is anticipated that by the turn of the century many of the products that are now published in paper form, such as topographic maps and nautical charts, will be produced electronically instead.

Regions help us organize and better understand geographic information. An area can be part of many regions. Knowing how to analyze regional data by exploring it in layers can help us see the complexity of regional characteristics and relationships. This activity is designed to have students explore the physical characteristics of a hypothetical region through the use of a low-tech version of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) map-overlay analysis. Students will form conclusions about the kinds of human development regions that could emerge from their physical regions.
