Geographic Information Systems

Mapping is an integral part of land use planning that has witnessed significant change over the last number of years with the evolution of computer programming and software development.

Often referred to as geographic information systems (GIS), maps are a critical tool used for a host of spatial planning and data collection activities ranging from siting exercises to environmental and social impact assessments. To effectively represent the issues and impacts you need to highlight or mitigate, the use of spatial data and GIS therefore becomes critical to your technical planning requirements.
