    Here are two 10-minute presentation slides summarizing key points about GIS origins and FOS GIS software: [Slide 1] Title: Origins of GIS - Earliest civilizations used basic mapping and surveying techniques to record land boundaries and property ownership - Navigators and explorers developed more advanced mapmaking and charting methods to explore new territories - Surveyors created cadastral maps to delineate land parcels for taxation and administration - During 19th century, governments established national mapping agencies to produce topographic maps - Innovations in computing, digital mapping, and spatial analysis in 1960s-70s led to development of first GIS software and systems

    Introduction to Geographic
    Information Systems
    Why is Geography Important?

    Because almost all activities, and decisions, involve


    Geography
    What is Geospatial?

    Geo(latin):
    I. The earth

    Spatial:
    I. Relating to, occupying or having the
    character of space
    II. of or relating to facility for perceiving
    relations(as of objects) in space
    What about Geospatial Science

    Geospatial Sciences are the


    study of “where” objects or
    phenomena are and how they
    relate to each other

    Generally relating to the earth


    surface(or near surface)
    Knowing “Where” is very important

    Since almost everything happens somewhere,


    knowing where that something happen is critical.
    For example, Flooding in Afar and Jigjiga
    region-2016

    Introduction to GIS
    • GIS= Geographical Information System
    o A computer system used for accessing, storing,
    analysing and presenting spatial data
    • GIS
    o Is used for spatial presenting, analysis, …
    o Is like a normal database but with a Geo-spatial
    component
    o Allows to query WHERE something is or WHAT is
    found on a specific LOCATION (within a community,
    near a river…)
    Geospatial Technologies:
    Geographic information

    ARCGIS Vs. Quantum GIS(QGIS)
    • ArcGIS: is a geographic information system (GIS)
    for working with maps and geographic information
    • QGIS: open Source – It comes with the right to
    download, run, copy, alter, and redistribute the
    software.
    Introduction to GIS software: ArcGIS
    Storing / working with data in
    ArcGIS
    • ArcMap
    o Raster data
    o Vector data (shapefiles)
    • GEODATABASE
    = sort of “working place”
    where data is
    stored and managed,
    common in ArcGIS
    o Raster data
    o Vector data (feature files)
