CHAPTER 1: GIS AND THE INFORMATION AGE
The Information Age:The world changing and the methods of meeting the needs of those changes are also changing.
in the past, data was analog, mostly written or typed , stored on paper, information was independent, seldom integrated with other data outsides its original
computers and other electronic equipments such as satellite are the machinery of new economic and couture
Data and information are the currencies of the information age , the internet became the major communication medium
GIS is a central component in the environmental information system
Technology change , stage of acceptance :

What it is the value of information?
How important is it ?
What it can be used for?
GIS can be perceived as a technology but ( what are the economic, and social benefits ?

Mobile GISData visualization
•Visualization is the presentation of data in graphic form
•The map gives the best impression of what the information means
•Computer technology enhances visualization by offering sophisticated techniques of changing data into pleasing and understanding display.

What is GIS?
•GIS: A computer based technology and methodology for collecting , managing, molding, and presenting geographic data for a wide range of applications.Geography: the real world : spatial realitiesInformation: data and information , their meaning and useSystems: computer technology and its support infrastructures.

GIS Description
GIS has a numerous functions , its primary roles presented in the following, dealing with geographic data from input to output:
Collection : gathering data from many sources , including global communications media, the remote sensing satellite ,the digitization table is for converting paper map into digital computer map, and other sources
Mobile GIS
GIS Description, Cont• Storage and management:
Efficient digital storage is necessary , administration and keeping track of data,
including integration of various types of data sets into a common database,
Database management is replacing the physical map
Slide 10
Mobile GISGIS Description, Cont
• Retrieval: Easy and efficient selection and viewing of
data in a variety of ways , monitors, printers, and internet.
• Conversion: changing data from one form to another , or map format to match another
• Analysis: analyzing data to produce insight and new information using various techniques
Slide 11
Mobile GIS
Slide 12
GIS Description, Cont• Molding: simplifying the data to understand how
things work or to explain what the data means , a generalization of data or a simple explanation of reality
• Display: presenting data in various ways (such as maps, graphs, and reports) for easy understanding.

Mobile GISGIS ProjectGIS Project
Slide 14
A GIS project is the foundation of GIS work, it consists of at least one central database, and graphic presenting features and themes.
Theme is a layer of data made of one or more features (geographic objects) of a similar topic

GIS Project, Cont GIS Project, Cont A GIS project organize many types of data
into a common structure , GIS data comes from many sources
Maps: the most common type of geographic data
GPS(global position system): A special satellite system that provides highly accurate locations and elevation data from anywhere in the world

GIS Project, Cont GIS Project, Cont Imagery: Remote sensing such as satellite
or aircraft digital imagery , provides a major source of GIS data, this can include scanned pictures
Reports: text data that dealing with spatial subjects
Tabular data: lists of numeric data , such as descriptive, census, or economic

Slide 20
GIS Project, Cont GIS Project, Cont After the project has been assembled
(which sometimes can require 75% or more of the project time), other GIS work begins , such as analysis, molding , and presentation
Mobile GISGIS InfrastructureGIS Infrastructure
There at least six primary components of GIS , which presented by a pyramid , for the important from the bottom up.
• Organization and people : the most important part of a GIS structur
• Applications: the uses, the purpose for its productions
• Methodology: the procedures , and ways of using GIS
Slide 21
Mobile GIS
• Data: is the heart of GIS operations • Software: the computer programs
needed to run GIS • Hardware: the machinery on which GIS
operates.
