http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/gina/carto.html

Extractions: Cartography and Geographic Information Systems A geographic information system (GIS) is simply a database of information about natural and man-made geographic features such as roads, buildings, mountains... These systems can be used for making maps, but also for analyzing data e.g. for facility location. There has been some communication between the geometry and GIS communities (e.g. geographer Michael Goodchild gave an invited lecture on "Computational Geography" at the 11th ACM Symp. Comp. Geom. ) but more could be done to bring them together. Geographic problems already visible in the geometry community include interpolation of surfaces from scattered data , overlaying planar subdivisions, hierarchical representations of terrain information, boundary simplification, lossy compression of elevation data (e.g. by using a piecewise linear approximation with few facets), and map labelling. Other interesting geometric issues include handling of approximate and inconsistent data, matching similar features from different databases, compression of large geographic databases, cooperation between raster and vector representations, visibility analysis, and generation of cartograms (maps with area distorted to represent other information such as population). A particularly important geometric data structure in geographic analysis is the Voronoi diagram , which has been used for to identify regions of influence of clans and other population centers, model plant and animal competition, piece together satellite photographs, estimate ore reserves, perform marketing analysis, and estimate rainfall.

http://www.who.int/csr/mapping/en/

Extractions: In order to properly plan, manage and monitor any public health programme, it is vital that up-to-date, relevant information is available to decision-makers at all levels of the public health system. As every disease problem or health event requires a different response and policy decision, information must be available that reflects a realistic assessment of the situation at local, national and global levels. This must be done with best available data and taking into consideration disease transmission dynamics, demographics, availability of and accessibility to existing health and social services as well as other geographic and environmental features. Geographic information systems (GIS) provide ideal platforms for the convergence of disease-specific information and their analyses in relation to population settlements, surrounding social and health services and the natural environment. They are highly suitable for analysing epidemiological data, revealing trends and interrelationships that would be more difficult to discover in tabular format. Moreover GIS allows policy makers to easily visualize problems in relation to existing health and social services and the natural environment and so more effectively target resources.

Extractions: Hunter College-CUNY, New York, New York, USA Download Article Geographic information systems are powerful automated systems for the capture, storage, retrieval, analysis, and display of spatial data. While the systems have been in development for more than 20 years, recent software has made them substantially easier to use for those outside the field. The systems offer new and expanding opportunities for epidemiology because they allow an informed user to choose between options when geographic distributions are part of the problem. Even when used minimally, these systems allow a spatial perspective on disease. Used to their optimum level, as tools for analysis and decision making, they are indeed a new information management vehicle with a rich potential for public health and epidemiology. Geographic information systems (GIS) are "automated systems for the capture, storage, retrieval, analysis, and display of spatial data"

Extractions: This website is a campaign launched by ESRI Ireland to promote the value that GIS is bringing to organisations on the island of Ireland. Each month, we will be publishing case studies that highlight the enormous variety of maps and geographic analysis that are being created every day using GIS technology. Simply put, a Geographical Information System combines and visualises spatial layers of information about a place to give you a better understanding of events at that location. What layers of information you combine depends on your purpose - finding the best location for a new store, analysing environmental damage, and so on.

http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/naturalresources/DD5926.html

Extractions: This publication, which provides a basic understanding of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), is one part of a three-part series. A second publication, Geographic Information Systems: A Glossary (Blinn et al. 1993), defines many of the terms associated with GIS. The last piece in the series, Introduction to Data Analysis Using Geographic Information Systems (Falbo et al. 1991), describes analysis functions in detail. When introduced in the 1960s, the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was limited to a small number of research and applications users. Today, GIS is one of the fastest growing technologies; it has applications in public safety, natural resource management, environmental analysis, utilities, and government, and is moving quickly into many other areas. The motivation for the tremendous growth in the use of GIS is clearly linked to both the increasing demand for information and the ever-increasing ability of computer technology to provide effective, cost-efficient data processing and management capabilities. Conceptually, a GIS can be envisioned as a stacked set of map layers, where each layer is aligned or registered to all other layers. Typically, each layer will contain a unique geographic theme or data type. These themes might include, for example, topography, soils, land-use, cadastral (land ownership) information, or infrastructure such as roads, pipelines, power lines, or sewer networks. This image of GIS is shown in Figure 1. By sharing mutual geography, all layers in the GIS can be combined or overlaid in any user-specified combination. In some cases the GIS may be defined by the type of data that the system is designed to handle. For example, the term "Land Information System" or "LIS" is often applied to a type of GIS used by counties, cities, and municipalities to manage land parcel information.

Extractions: Conclusions and Recommendations ... NEXT Figure 1. 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.
