This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A geographic information system (GIS) refers to a type of computer based information system that displays and analyzes geographically referenced information. It makes use of information that is related to a particular geographical location. GIS can display a wide range of data on a single map such as plants, streets and buildings. GIS can be utilized for various purposes including resource management, environmental impact assessment, historical research, scientific research, cartography, marketing, asset management, urban planning, logistics, criminology, and sales. The primary application of GIS in natural resource management is to manage environmental problems and disasters such as soil erosion, earthquake, flood, drought, and landslide. It addresses major issues such as habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and population increase. The use of GIS in natural resource management also entails data modeling and analysis. This book outlines the applications of geographic information systems in natural resource management. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
