INTRODUCTION
GIS
is becoming an increasingly important tool in environmental management, retail,
military, police, tourism and many other spheres of our daily lives. If you use
a computer or a cell phone, you have probably already used a GIS in some form
without even realizing it. Maybe it was a map on a website, Google Earth, an
information booth or your cell phone telling you where you are. Proprietary GIS
software (software that cannot be freely shared or modified) is available that
will let you do everything we describe in these worksheets and a lot more.
However, this software is usually very expensive or otherwise limits your
freedom to copy, share and modify the software. GIS vendors sometimes make an
exception for educational activities, providing cheaper or free copies of their
software.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Individuals who are new to GIS (no
prior GIS education or workplace experience with GIS)
