A Geographical Information System (GIS) stores, manages, and processes spatial and descriptive data and from this we can create, analyse and map a variety of different types of data.
Using integrated spatial and descriptive data, such as maps, satellite imagery, and demographic information, GIS can identify patterns, understand relationships between geographic features, and uncover hidden trends, which is applicable to a wide variety of disciplines and uses, and as a result can improve management and decision making.
