Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computer systems that capture, store, analyze, and display spatial or geographic data, combining maps with layered data sets like demographics, infrastructure, and environmental information. Urban planners, environmental scientists, logistics companies, and government agencies use GIS software (such as Esri ArcGIS or QGIS) to visualize spatial relationships, model scenarios, and support decision-making. Common applications include land-use planning, disaster response, utility management, and route optimization.
