National Geographic Information System, NGIS
NGIS stands for national geographic information system. The system incorporates graphics and attribute (text and symbolic) information on ground and underground features, such as topography, geology, hydrology and land ownership, into its database. Units of governments can overlap theme maps to obtain, process, and analyze geospatial information based on their administrative demand. Theme maps include transportation networks, locations of addresses, distribution of natural resources, public pipelines, and urban planning. NGIS, as it provides information to facilitate government agencies’ management, planning and decision making, has become necessary reference for use in decision making for the government and private sectors.
