چکیده
This paper introduces the characteristics of Geography Information System (GIS) and the actuality and assignment of environmental monitoring. The authors expound GIS applications in ecological monitoring, water monitoring, air monitoring and environmental noise monitoring, then illuminate the vital role of GIS in environmental protection. GIS is the computer information system that can collect, manage, analyze and visualize space data. It can combine location and associated attribute information and show to the user truly and illustrative. Basing on GIS and other new technology, development and application of integrated environmental monitoring information system will enable sharing of information resources, will enter and analyze effectively the spatial data and the attribute data, and will study the characteristics and the compositive effects of pollutants. It will provide the information for decision-making and promote scientific analysis and decision-making in environmental protection. GIS applications in environmental monitoring is ascendant. And GIS application in informationization management of environmental monitoring will bound to the cause of environmental protection to a new historical process.
