Introduction to GIS

• Many of the issues in our world have a critical spatial component!

– Land management

– Property lines, easements, right of ways

– Data on land values, taxation, assessment

– Business site selection, advertising

– Proximity of ‘our’ land to other facilities (pollution, hunting, municipal, federal, state)

– Hydrology: Soil, Elevation, Structures , vegetation

– Crime analysis

– Emergency management and disaster preparation

Introduction to GIS

The Earth is finite!

– If not now, within our lifetimes there may be no natural ecosystems.

– Land managers, natural resource workers, and politicians are and will continue to make decisions about biological systems.

– Good information and tools are needed to do this.

The Space on Earth

Introduction to GIS

A computer-based tool for

• holding,

• displaying,

• analyzing, and

• manipulating,

spatial data.

Horizontal and Vertical

Distance Measurement

Horizontal and Vertical Distance Measurement

Point A

Point B Direct Method Using a Tape

Horizontal Distance = L cos θ

Vertical Distance = L sin θ

Temperature may affect the measuring tape.

Problems?

The pull/tension applied to the tape in the field may be different from the standardization pull.

Tape sagging (mainly for long tapes)
