What Is Gis?

What is Geographic Information System (GIS)? According to the ESRI Web site of GIS software manufacturer, ".. GIS combines local information layers to make this site better understood" (http://www.gis.com visit: 2004 6 Month 4) That is, GIS is a method of interpreting spatial information by combining spatial information using computer and other technologies. The website (http://www.geoinnovations.com.au access time: 4th June 2004) shows that most of the data currently in use has spatial components or spatial data.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the extent to which Mauritius local governments use GIS in GIS, to identify barriers to proper use of GIS in solid waste management, and to determine the extent of the impact of GIS on sustainable waste management It is to evaluate. Decision support tool for planning garbage collection, recycling, garbage separation and disposal to construct a cost-effective system. Finally, we will use the ArcGIS software to provide a model of the Grand Port-Savanne District Council (GPSVDC) in Mauritius. It can be used as a decision support tool to plan waste collection and disposal. The resulting model is used to store information on existing collection routes, land use data, demographic data etc. and data on the amount of waste generated. Based on these information decisions, we can improve the existing solid waste management system and make the appropriate decisions to predict future plans.

In this paper, we analyze the benefits of using GIS as a solid waste management tool, evaluate how much local government of Mauritius is using GIS, and identify barriers to the use of GIS in solid waste management in Mauritius Identify. Use ArcGIS software to generate a geographic information system model for the Grand Port-Savanne district council (GPSVDC). It can be used as a decision support tool to plan the collection and processing of waste. Mauritius's solid waste management is the responsibility of local governments and the surrounding islands. On the main island of Mauritius there are five city councils. That is, (i) Port Louis, (ii) Boabashin / Rose Hill, (iii) Cattle Bones, (iv) Bacoas / Phoenix, (v) Curepipe. There are also four district councils of (i) Pamplemousses / Rivieredu Rempart, (ii) Moka - Flacq, (iii) Grand Port - Savanne, and (iv) Black River.

The Geographic Information System (GIS) is a framework for collecting, managing, and analyzing data. GIS is based on earth science, and it integrates various kinds of data. It analyzes the spatial location and organizes the information layer into a visualization using maps and 3D scenes. With this unique feature, GIS can gain deeper insight into data such as patterns, relationships, context.
