2. iirs Further analysis
What is the difference with an average December
month?
Which procedure was used? What can we learn?
3. General Understanding of GIS
Understanding GIS (1)
U d t di
Map reading and
information – how it is
related to GIS?
◦ What you get from the
map?
◦ Can we measure and
quantify?
◦ Is it possible to find the
changes?
◦ How is it related to GIS?
4. General Understanding of GIS
Understanding GIS (2)
U d t di
Remote Sensing data and relation
to GIS
What we get from satellite data?
Can we find the changes and
how?
How time series helps in finding
patterns?
Can we quantify the information?
How RS is related to GIS?
5. General Understanding of GIS
Understanding GIS (3)
GPS and it’s relation to GIS
Provides positional information
Data generated in the form of
point / line / area theme can be
directly brought into GIS
Updating of GIS information
will be easy and fast using
GPS
6. General Understanding of GIS
Understanding GIS (4)
U d t di
Models and GIS
◦ We ask children to make models
about our earth, Why?
◦ Global warming and climatic
change – how it is done?
◦ Models and it’s role in GIS

22. Concepts of GIS
How GIS Works?
Describing our World
We can describe any
element of our world
in t
i two ways:
Attribute Information:
What is it?
Location Information:
i f i
Where is it? Species: Oak
Height: 15m
Age: 75 Yrs
51°N, 112°W
23. Concepts of GIS
How it works?
A Powerful tool for solving real-world problems
A method to
visualize, manipulate, analyze,
and display spatial data
25. iirs Spatial data and geoinformation
There is a degree of error in Lineage – describes the

In the context of a GIS we of observation or materials.
distinguish between: Temporal accuracy,
Errors in source data

In addition the International Completeness, for spatial

26. iirs Spatial data and geoinformation
In a GIS a wider view of Most GIS analysis will
quality is important introduce errors.
because:
Errors are introduced
when data is put into the
GIS
Unlike a conventional
map, which is a single end
hi h i i gl d
product, a GIS contains
data from various sources
Unlike topographic or
p g p
cadastral databases,
natural resource databases
contain “uncertain” data.
