Cartography and Geographic Information System

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer information system that collects, stores, manages, describes, analyzes and expresses data related to the earth's surface and geographical distribution. . Global Positioning System (GPS) and Remote Sensing (RS), as point-to-area multi-scale and multi-dimensional spatial data sources of GIS, provide impetus for the application of geographic information system technology. With the development of modern information science, based on the three technical foundations of GIS, RS, and GPS, combined with computers and other related information technologies, the emerging earth information science has gradually formed. The development of this technology has prompted modern information technology to provide comprehensive qualitative, quantitative and positioning information technology support for government decision-making and office automation, and has been widely used in cities, regions, resources, environment, transportation, population, land, infrastructure Areas such as facilities and planning management. This discipline mainly conducts basic or applied research in various fields of natural resources, environment and social economy, develops basic or related industry geographic information system software, and cultivates senior professionals in spatial information technology.
