Abstract

The computing system i.e., Geographic Information System is use to capture, store, manage, analyze data and then represent all types of data geographically. The systems of GIS are used in cases of cartography along with the GIS merging of cartography and database. There is no considerable activity of human that is related to the territory of the geographical region that uses standardized GIS system. This system of GIS allows efficient estimation and the resource management for the environment protection. This technology provides safety to the general public and has the ability to manage and examine the large amounts of the information. This paper explains about the GIS application and mine mapping of the suspected areas and have the ability to facilitate the surface displacement. Keywords: Computing system,, Geographical Information System,, Cartography, resource management of GIS

Introduction

The Geographic Information System i.e., GIS is a data collection method that is computer based and also helps in storing data. This analyzes the tool that combines the information that is unrelated into maps which are easily understandable. The manager of the public sector and the business leader has provided the power by GIS to understand the relationships which are complex, the power that plans for the future, the power that presents data in a clear and understanding manner, power to form the informed decisions and also the power to save time, money and lives. The usage of GIS technology for the management of land records, infrastructure, addresses the performance and routing as a part of their operations by Local Governments. The agencies of State Government uses this GIS system for the school bus routing, the management and the observing the natural resources, emergency response and sex offenders tracking among various other routine activities (The Great seal of the state of North Carolina, 2008 ).

The software of GIS helps in producing massive amounts of data that combines separate information layers to manage and retrieving the data in a more appropriate way. It also provides a way for agricultural scientists through which they get better decision making in the process of implementation of planning activities for the agricultural development.
