3 Intro to GIS What is it? A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based system designed to collect, store, integrate, manipulate, analyze & display data in a spatially referenced environment. It allows you to manage and analyze data visually and see patterns, trends, and relationships that might not be visible in tabular or written form.

4 Intro to GIS What can it do? Typical questions a GIS can answer Location: Where is...? Condition: How big is...? Is it open or closed? Relations: How many... are near? Integrations: Can we combine this with data from? Visualizations (2D-3D): What does it look like? What spatial patterns exist? Trends (4D): What has changed? When did it? When will it? Modeling: What if...?

5 Intro to GIS How does it work? Information organized into Layers Can query any data directly or indirectly tied to a location / area How many connected NAPs in a neighborhood / distribution area? Where have utility strikes occurred? Can look above, below, next to, adjacent to, within / without, near to, etc. Can combine a variety of data to create new information and relations

6 Intro to GIS How is it applied? Information Management: Asset inventory, data collection, maintenance, work orders Attribute analysis: Show me all fiber lines having the following attributes Spatial analysis: How many customers are inside this service area? Proximity analysis: Which substations are within 1000 feet of a major highway? Data overlays: Which lots are commercial, are not within 500 feet of a major highway, and have a rocky soil type? Mapping: Hard Copy, Electronic, Online
