7个故事显示了GIS的力量
自从GIS已经走了很长一段路Roger Tomlinsonintroduced the term ‘geographic information system’ in his paper titled ‘A Geographic Information System for Regional Planning’. Even so, today’s geographic information systems still generate and maintain spatial information which aids in the creation of maps and data analysis. A wide variety of applications and disciplines benefit from GIS technology nowadays, as this overview shows. These seven selected articles also provide a glimpse of where GIS is heading in the future.
3D-GIS：一种等待探索和使用的技术
3D-GIS工具非常强大。它们为已经非常强大且有用的2D-GIS功能增加了第三个维度，从而使复杂的信息集与地图，计划和空间区域的任何其他视觉表示结合在一起。此外，3D-GIS开辟了一种非常新的地理分析形式...阅读
移动GIS被证明可以改变土地管理
In 2015, a rigorous test of GIS proved that Esri technology can greatly assist in building a sustainable land administration system that is incredibly easy to implement and put into use. By combining technologies and leveraging standards, geospatial mobile apps can be rapidly deployed, eliminating the obstacles that typically impede land administration progress in developing economies.阅读
需要整合BIM和地理信息
建筑行业赞赏BIM使用的好处，但似乎低估了与地理信息集成的BIM信息的价值。为了响应所有利益相关者的要求，BIM正在扩展到整合GIS中存储的环境的信息，就像在荷兰鹿特丹进行的一项大型研究中所进行的那样。阅读
GIS Coalition to Aid Removal of Land Mines
Esri和日内瓦国际人类中心itarian Demining (GICHD) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), strengthening a partnership to eliminate land mines and explosive remnants of war through the power of geography. The MOU furthers Esri's support in modernising GICHD's Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA). Built with Esri's world-leading GIS technology, the software system serves a critical purpose in the mine action process: understanding exactly where mines are located prior to conducting clearance.阅读
Bringing Geography into Everything (Interview with Ed Parsons)
作为Google的地理空间技术专家，Ed Parsons负责福音Google的使命，该使命是使用地理学组织世界信息。188金宝搏特邀Gim International在他的无数外国旅行中，在巴塞罗那遇到了这个在巴塞罗那的“有使命的人”。帕森斯（Parsons）认为，GIS社区已经为下一个挑战做好了准备：变得更加精通网络。“要成为网络的公民，请采取较少的GIS特定方法来发布数据。我们需要认识到，我们创造的任何东西的消费者中有95％不会成为GIS专家。我们不能指望他们了解GIS元数据目录以及编码以前从未遇到过的地理内容的特殊方法。”在这里阅读完整的采访
Urban Planning, Management and Decision-making in the Cloud
如今，GIS和BIM行业之间仍然存在巨大的差距，并且在当今的跨学科设计过程中常常失去了好主意。这始于缺乏交流思想和概念的工具。仅仅想象城市的实际情况就是一个耗时的过程，当涉及的项目合作伙伴之间经常交换数据（不幸的是，也丢失）时，情况往往会恶化。此外，在设计课程中，通常很难包括相关的关键指标，例如关于成本，地面区域和能源需求的城市设计方案的直接评估。Read the full story here
地理学有助于救济到更多难民
Medair uses the power of geo-ICT to help communities of refugees more efficiently. Since 2009 it has been Medair’s policy to employ GIS-trained staff assigned to specific projects. The number of such employees fluctuates, but there are usually around five or six at any given time – a small group, but with significant effect. Good examples of their work include their role in getting relief to Syrian refugees in Lebanon and to the homeless in the Philippines.Full story here
