- GIS PLAYS VITAL ROLE IN HOMELAND SECURITY The power of a
Geographic Information System (GIS) is its capability to
graphically organize and display a series of location-based
information, such as roads, buildings, and rivers.
- Slide 5
- . For years, the technology has been used by engineers, land
development planners, and environmental scientists. Today, in the
wake of increasing terrorism concerns, governments and commercial
companies around the world are looking to GIS to support their
security initiatives.
- Slide 6
- Slide 7
- The United States has implemented an aggressive campaign to
strengthen its "Homeland Security". New safety-oriented programs at
federal agencies, regional governments, and commercial enterprises
have heightened the demand for visual mapping databases. GIS
applications, topographic base maps, remote sensing data, and
vector layers (i.e. roads, rivers, buildings) are now the basis for
assessing security risks and modeling emergency scenarios.
- Slide 8
- A Geographic Information System A GIS is similar, layering
mapped information in a computer to help us view our world as a
system

- What Does GIS Do? It locates: Physical infrastructure, like
water and sewer pipes

- THE IMPORTANCE OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS The ability of
GIS to search databases and perform geographic queries has
revolutionized many areas of science and business. It can be
invaluable during a decision-making process.
- Slide 12
- The information can be presented succinctly and clearly in the
form of a map and accompanying report, allowing decision makers to
focus on the real issues rather than trying to understand the data.
Because GIS products can be produced quickly, multiple scenarios
can be evaluated efficiently and effectively. For this reason, in
todays world, the ability to use GIS is increasingly
important.
- Slide 13
- GIS In Public Health ABSTRACT Important objects in health
databases are patients, doctors, infrastructural facilities, and
health services. Nevertheless, all these objects have spatial
dimensions and mutual interaction in their inheritance. The
understanding of these dimensions and interactions are the key for
health planning and management.
- Slide 14
- Moreover, it allows policy makers to easily visualize the
problems in relation to the resources and prevailing needs. Spatial
dimensions of health data give detailed and compelling answers to
the difficult questions health service providers ask every
day.
- Slide 15
- The spatial contexts in accurate format are vital for
integrating health attributes in the form of Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) especially at the micro-scale. There are
many potential users, but the major users will include National and
Provincial health departments, Planning Commissions, researchers,
etc.
- Slide 16
- Undoubtedly, a health objects database could be a huge and
difficult task to manage. Nonetheless, in Pakistan, precedence from
National Database and Re- - gistration Authority (NADRA) is a good
example of how to handle the quantity.

- The Importance of GIS in Battlefield Surveillance Major

- Slide 18
- Introduction 1. The ability to strike first, strike deep and
strike effectively is of paramount importance for gaining success
in operations of war. The manifestation of this ability in a
battlefield requires not only firepower in terms of lethal and
long-range weapon system but also an effective command and control
system, which is essential for accurate and timely application of
firepower.
- Slide 19
- 2. Battlefield Surveillance is one of the most important force
multipliers which are essential for winning the future battles.
Modern techniques in handling and processing the vast information
are getting more user friendly and useful to the decision makers in
the armed forces.
- Slide 20
- Most of the countries in the world are taking initiatives in
modernizing their Armies in order to keep respectable pace with
fast changing battlefield scenarios in modern technological
environment. Aim 3. The aim of this paper is to highlight the
importance of GIS and related technologies in the field of
Battlefield Surveillance.
- Slide 21
- Battlefield Transparency. The battlefield surveillance would
play a major role in the decision making in the future battles.
Employment of satellites and aerial assets would prove to be a
decisive factor. GIS technologies would be employed extensively for
processing the large amount of information and delivering it to the
decision makers in the desired format in acceptable time
frame.
- Slide 22
- Civil Engineering projects involve the management, analysis and
integration of large amounts of geographic information to ensure
success. This can include a wide range of information such as
detailed design drawings originating from CAD solutions, detailed
mapping, air photography, geological investigations, population
information, traffic flows and environmental models.
- Slide 23
- GIS the intelligent platform for civil IT With increasingly
complex projects, the interaction of often international
multidisciplinary functions requires the introduction of effective
and efficient data management and sharing solutions.
- Slide 24
- GIS provides the civil engineer with tools for creating,
managing, analysing and visualising all types of geographic
information. GIS is now being used by Civil Engineers in every
application domain and throughout every aspect of the enterprise,
be it on the desktop, in the field, or in collaboration with
others.
- Slide 25
- ArcGIS is recognised by todays civil engineers as the
intelligent choice for work in site development, hydraulics,
hydrology, surveying, transportation, planning and public works.
ArcGIS provides the rich set of databases and spatial tools needed
to manage civil information for design, modeling and maintenance.
Data is taken from many different sources and file formats and
integrated into a single application platform to support complex
civil engineering workflows. ArcGIS

- ROLE OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) IN DISASTER
MANAGEMENT
- Slide 27
- Introduction Effective and realistic emergency management
programs depend on data from various sources which should be
collected, analyzed, displayed, disseminated and used in an
organized manner. It is therefore desirable to have the right data
in the right place at the right time. The data should be organized
in a usable format for stakeholders to respond and take action in
case of an emergency. Most of the emergency data requirements are
of spatial nature hence a need for a Geographic Information System
(GIS).
- Slide 28
- Role of GIS in Disaster Risk Assessment Disaster management
starts with locating and identifying potential emergency problems
and how they relate to the existing environment. Disaster

facilities exist in impact zones, location of mitigation facilities
such as fire stations, potential refugee and IDP camps, spread of
spills, location of medical facilities, extent of damage and
infestation, water sources and any humanitarian intervention. What
