HANDS-ON TRAINING BROUGHT TO YOU BY GISł - www.gis3.com
It is estimated that approximately 80 percent of all data has a spatial component. By using this locational information, we can take data directly from a spreadsheet and place them on a map. Once we are able to visualize this data, we can view patterns and trends not readily visible in a table or chart.
GIS (Geographic Information System) gives us the ability to integrate information about a place to give us a better understanding of that place. Whether we want to site a new business, analyze crime patterns, evaluate disease distribution, or examine the demographic of our communities, GIS technology will aid us in our endeavors.
SOCIAL GIS WORKSHOPS - http://www.gis3.com/asp/classtraining.asp
GISł is currently offering two workshops that focus on the social applications of GIS, including techniques for working with census data. These workshops are designed for researchers, planners, analysts, nonprofit organizations, and small businesses who want to apply GIS techniques to social research.
