GIS Geographical Information System
What is a GIS?
A GIS (Geographical Information System) is a system for managing, analysing and viewing geographical and spatial reference material. In a GIS, geographical information is associated with a set of data that describe local phenomena.
A GIS makes it possible to create geographical reconstructions (maps) to view the elements and their spatial relations on the terrestrial surface, using the associated information. Maps are the main tool for representing geographical information. They are generated by means of specific interfaces that make it possible to perform analyses and processes. The maps created with a GIS differ from static maps (prints) because they are interactive. An interactive map can be explored, enlarged and the information levels can be “switched on” and “switched off” at appropriate viewing scales or on the basis of specific requirements. Representative symbols can be used for any combination of the attributes associated with the objects. For example, land parcels can be identified according to type, while the size of the well symbol can be established on the basis of the flow rate, and so on. You can also click on any object on the map to obtain further information on it or carry out complex investigations and spatial analyses.
Why can it be consulted online?
The information contained in the system is subdivided into levels. Online access and consultation is restricted to certain aspects.
How can I use it?
You simply need a computer connected to the internet. You can’t modify any of the data, so don’t worry …
