Examples of Geographic Information System Application

Guidance: This chapter introduces the application of GIS in some specific fields。

Because GIS is an information system for managing and analyzing spatial data, almost all departments using spatial data and spatial information can apply GIS. Due to the different departments, the proportion and application mode of GIS in the specific business system are also different. The relatively loose areas include business, medical and health fields, which are closely combined with urban planning, environmental fields and so on.

This chapter briefly introduces some examples of GIS application. For different examples, different methods are introduced. Some summarize the application of a specific region, some describe the work flow, some introduce the working principles and analysis methods, which can provide reference for the construction of GIS in related fields, and can also be used as reference for the construction of GIS in other fields.

This chapter also introduces some new concepts, such as AM/FM, GIS/T, specific analysis methods, dynamic segmentation model, which are in the intersection of GIS and specific fields. It is also a useful supplement to GIS theory and technology.

This paper introduces various aspects of GIS application technology.

Principles, Technologies, and Methods of Geographic Information Systems  102

In recent years, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have undergone rapid development in both theoretical and practical dimensions. GIS has been widely applied for modeling and decision-making support across various fields such as urban management, regional planning, and environmental remediation, establishing geographic information as a vital component of the information era. The introduction of the “Digital Earth” concept has further accelerated the advancement of GIS, which serves as its technical foundation. Concurrently, scholars have been dedicated to theoretical research in areas like spatial cognition, spatial data uncertainty, and the formalization of spatial relationships. This reflects the dual nature of GIS as both an applied technology and an academic discipline, with the two aspects forming a mutually reinforcing cycle of progress.
