Geographic information table

This table is a way to present geographic information system (GIS) obtained data.

A geographic information system, or GIS, relies on computer-based technology to produce, organize and analyse spatial information in the form of maps. GIS encompasses database management, mapping, image processing and statistical analysis tools. These tools allow users to see statistical data analysed in relation to topographic and geographic features and administrative boundaries. GIS allows to accumulate, integrate and incorporate for analysis the data from multiple sources and collected for a number of projects.
