Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become indispensable in public health, offering a spatial lens to analyze and address health issues. GIS enables the mapping and visualization of health data, which supports more informed planning and decision-making in public health. The…

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become indispensable in modern environmental monitoring and conservation efforts. GIS refers to computer-based tools for capturing, storing, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial data – essentially enabling the mapping of environmental features and processes. By integrating diverse…

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools for gathering, managing, and analyzing spatial data. In urban planning, GIS integrates geographic information with data layers (maps, tables, graphs) to reveal patterns and relationships, helping users make more informed decisions. Over the…

Spatial statistics are used to analyze the spatial distribution, patterns, and relationships of geographic phenomena. Two commonly used methods are Hot Spot Analysis and Moran’s I, both of which help detect spatial patterns in data. Hot Spot Analysis (Getis-Ord Gi*)…

Terrain analysis involves extracting useful information from elevation data, typically using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Three of the most common terrain analysis outputs are: 1. Slope 2. Aspect 3. Hillshade Tools for Terrain Analysis: You can perform terrain analysis…

Network analysis is a key part of geographic information systems (GIS) and transportation planning. It uses graph theory to model and analyze the movement of people, goods, and services over a network (like roads, pipelines, or public transit systems). Here…
