GIS – SOME DEFINITIONS
• GIS may include manual systems, however, it usually refers to a computerised database system for capture, storage, retrieval, analysis and display of spatial data (Huxhold, 1991).
• GIS is capable of assisting the storage, retrieval and manipulation of spatially referenced data such as street address or a census tract (Nedovic-Budic, 1999).
• GIS is most useful when used to perform data analysis (Lee and Wong, 2001, viii)
GIS – SOME DEFINITIONS (cont.)GIS – SOME DEFINITIONS (cont.)
• application– acts as a problem solving solution– example: water pollution, traffic, land
management • toolbox
– emphasize on the generic aspect of GIS in it’s definition
– always used by vendors to maximize their market share

THE NEED FOR GISTHE NEED FOR GIS
• the real world has a lot of spatial data– manipulation, analysis and modeling can be
effective and efficiently carried out with a GIS• the neighborhood of the intended purchase of house• the route for fire-fighting vehicles to the fire area• location of historical sites to visit• the earth surface for purposes of army
• the earth surface is a limited resource• rational decisions on space utilization• fast and quality information in decision making
... THE NEED FOR GIS... THE NEED FOR GIS
complexity of management– due to the need to combine and process many
sets of data, in addition to judge as many as possible, situation that might happen.
intense competition– the need to use technology in making decisions
and strategy in the world of intense competition.

GIS APPLICATION (I)GIS APPLICATION (I)
• environment– management of natural resources
• land, forest, marine, etc.– monitoring/control of environmental pollution– environment impact study
• infrastructure– transport and irrigation management and
maintenance– utility management and maintenance
• electric, water, gas, telephone, etc.
GIS APPLICATION (II)GIS APPLICATION (II)
• socio-economy– town and country planning– monitoring of population migration– disperse of resources/services
• clinics, schools, etc• military
– land form visualisation– visibility analysis
Residential Real Estate
• A single map lets your customer compare multiple properties and their respective proximity to desired amenities such as schools, parks, and shopping centers.
• Introduce the subject of disclosure by displaying FEMA floodplain data and know toxic sites in an area.
Commercial Real Estate
• Evaluate and analyze key factors when siting new premise for restaurants, stores, warehouses, corporate offices etc.:
* Proximity to suitable customers * Location of potential competitors * Crime rates * Transportation infrastructure * Regional labor pool characteristics * Environmental risk factors (i.e., flood plains, toxic sites, and
others) • Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) can gain a competitive
edge over traditional investments by using GIS to quantifying the investment potential of portfolios.
• GIS can show properties in the context of potential customers/tenants, nearness to competitors, inventories of like property, labor pools, and risk factors.
Multiple Listing Services• Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) can add features and
functions to the standard MLS menu of services such as an interactive map to show qualifying properties in the context of neighborhood amenities or perceived nuisances. Layers such as toxic sites can be added to address the sometimes thorny issue of disclosure.
• A prospective buyer can browse listings, look at an appropriate map, and choose an agent without ever leaving home. A good Internet site can link visitors to agents' e-mails and office Web sites.
• Mapping at the local level. Data such as parcel maps, school district boundaries, bus routes, local parks, and recreation facilities can be used by local MLS providers.
• Internet Map Server (IMS) technology gives us the tools to publish maps on the internet.
Title Companies• Title companies can use GIS for relatively simple customer care
mapping services, preliminary title searches, and the creation of GIS-based land information systems (LISs).
• LIS projects can involve the conversion of an existing paper-based land registration/taxation system to an automated interactive GIS system. Projects also include the creation of GIS/LIS from historical records and aerial photogrammetry.
• The title industry can also take advantage of internet-enabled GIS systems to allow free public access to a county's parcel ownership data and maps with a gateway to a fee-for-service section.
• In the fee-for-service section, customers can order/down proprietary data and reports and initiate title searches. More innovative applications can be linked to a local real estate board or MLS provider and are of particular value to a wide range of real estate professionals.
Appraisers
• Map current and recently retired listings for a more accurate representation of sales information for comparison.
• GIS maps properties based on searchable features such as address and parcel number, so we can review all properties in a given area using these ‘connectors’
• ArcView GIS desktop software gives you the tools to map features that affect a property's value such as crime rates, environmental hazards, and the condition of surrounding neighborhoods and properties.

BENEFITS OF GISBENEFITS OF GIS• improves/enhances the effects of
physical/environmental growth• better management of resources• adding new value-added services• perform analysis on spatial and non spatial
components• fast recall of data• ability for complex analysis• recalling of non spatial data through object location• display of information in a different light/view• multiple scenario in planning can be performed
