چکیده
Geographic information systems (GIS) technology and methods have transformed decision-making in universities, government, and industry by bringing digital spatial data sets and geographic analysis to the desktop computer.

The reasons behind the interest in GIS technology and methods, their slow implementation, their extent in the curriculum, and their effectiveness in teaching and learning are unclear.
