GIS and Mapping

It is estimated that approximately 80% of all information has a "spatial" or geographic component. A geographic information system (GIS) provides the tools to both visualize information and analyze data to facilitate decision making. The Voinovich School uses GIS to help organizations inventory assets, perform analyses and display information in a visual format in order to make better decisions. The Voinovich School uses GIS for many applications including county engineering, community planning and watershed research.
