USING A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) TO MODEL, MANAGE AND DEVELOP URBAN DATA OF THE TIMISOARACITY

摘要

In the strictest sense, the term GIS describes any information system that integrates, stores, edits, analyses, shares, and displays geographic information. In a more generic sense, GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries (user created searches), analyse spatial information, edit data, maps, and present the results of all these operations. Geographic information science is the science underlying the geographic concepts, applications and systems, taught in degree and GIS Certificate programs at many universities. In this paper the authors describe the concept of Timisoara GIS.
