Abstract
Geographic information system (GIS) is a tool for making maps. GIS helps us in using spatial information and it is mainly concerned with the location of the features as well as properties/attributes of those features.It helps us gather, analyse and visualize spatial data for different purposes. A GIS quantifies the locations of features by recording their coordinates which are the numbers that describe the position of these features on Earth. The uniqueness of GIS is its ability to do spatial analysis. GIS helps us analyse the spatial relationships and interactions. Sometimes, GIS proves to be the only way to solve spatiallyrelated problems and it is one of the most important tools that aid in decision making process.
