Geographical Information System – GIS
integrates five key components: hardware, software, data, people, and
methods that are designed effectively to receive, store, control, analyze, and
display all geographic data. The first target of GIS is to deal with data
systems in a geospatial environment
The development of GIS technology plays an
important role in solving basic and advanced issues of the humanities and
social science. Aspects of GIS application research are economics, human
geography, tourism, sociology, ethnography, languages, and cultures. GIS is
applied in some specific aspects such as archeology, history, political
science, psychology. It is increasingly expanded to provide modern and accurate
tools in spatial data analysis, database, and spatial modeling.

categories: open source GIS software and exclusive or commercial GIS software
