چکیده
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is an electronic information system that analyzes, integrates, and displays information based on geography. GIS systems have powerful visual display capabilities that present the results of analysis on maps on a wide variety of scales, ranging from very large (accurate to within inches) to very small (accurate only in broad overview). GIS is regarded as the best technology to understand and solve problems associated with government information which has a geographic dimension--a street address, a transportation corridor, a river, a city line. Some examples of how GIS has been used to increase government efficiency are:
