Organization: Geographic Information Solutions Ltd.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) grew out of an idea of taking geographic knowledge, map layers or map data and putting it in digital form and then being able to analyze it and use it for various applications. These applications are just about every kind of activity that human beings do :
I. From government planning to
II. Forest management
III. Discovery of oil
IV. Helping people in emergency situations (Coordination, Climate Change, Education)
V. Mine Action
VI. Agriculture
VII. Health
VIII. Retail Sitting
IX. Monitoring and Evaluation
X. Just about any field that you can think of, you can apply GIS!
By seeing the spatial and temporal connections to such things as watersheds, human settlement, natural hazards, soils, weather patterns, landforms, and land use, our students learning GIS are required to think holistically about communities, regions, and the planet. (GIS is a thinker’s tool).
Professionals involved in various programs can use GIS as a tool for planning, visualizing and monitoring these programs.
This training exposes participants to the use of GIS in programs with respect to Data Sources, Mapping, Infield Practical Applications, Technology and Timeline for implementation.
REQUIREMENTS
Participants MUST carry LAPTOPS for software installations and hands-on practicals, Limited slot for only 05 people available.
