The History
First developed in North America, particularly the U.S. and Canada in the mid-1960s Previously been used in natural resources and environmental research
History of GIS
1960s to 2000: Starting of the GIS projects & ESRI founded 1970 ERDAS founded 1980s GPS become operational
GIS text books Mapinfo founded
Internet GIS: Lot of applications Current: Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) Every disciplines use GIS Sarawak: ICT Unit, CMD

Opening Definitions
Geographic Information (map, digital form) Sea surface temperature, Data numbers, text, symbols
soil type, population density
Information about places on Earths surface Geographic versus spatial Geographic refers to Earths surface and near surface Spatial refers to any space (more general) Knowledge about where something is Knowledge about what is at a given location Can be very detailed or very course Can be relatively static or change rapidly 8 Can be very sparse or voluminous
GIS definitions
A working GIS integrates five key components:
hardware, software, data, people, and
methods

17
a. Automated Mapping
Using digitally stored information to create thematic or topographic maps quickly, relatively simply, and flexibly
b. Simple Query
Drawing out information in a spatial database. e.g. How much of a particular vegetation type is found in the study area, and where is it?
18
c. Spatial Analysis
Quantitative analysis of one or more geographic themes e.g. the calculation of a range of spatial variables in a fragmented landscape.
d. Spatial Modelling
More complex examination of processes which allow predictions based on quantitative analysis. e.g. examining what environmental variables determine rainforest types in the Wet Tropics, and using these models to extrapolate over unsampled areas.

Find features with known properties but unknown location (Where is a particular feature on the landscape?) (Where are features with specific properties?)
Identify properties of features with known location (What type of features are at a specific location?) Analyze the relationship between/among features and location (Is there a reason these features are found at this location?)
