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.
