This self-study workbook
is a hands-on introduction to geographic information system (GIS)
software using the ESRI® ArcGIS™ Desktop products— ArcInfo™,
ArcEditor™, and ArcView®. A GIS is a computer-based system for
collecting, storing, managing, analyzing, and presenting geographic
information. In this book you will plan and conduct a GIS analysis
project with the applications found in ArcGIS Desktop. Those
applications are the following:
ArcMap™ is used for editing, displaying, querying, and analyzing
map data as well as performing map layout tasks.
ArcCatalog™ locates, browses, and manages spatial data.
ArcToolbox™ is a simple application containing many GIS tools used
for geoprocessing.
You will learn:
Some of the many ways GIS is used today.
The structure and use of different GIS data models.
How to plan a GIS project and assemble a project database.
How to conduct a GIS analysis project.
How to present analysis results using maps, reports, and
charts.
The book’s two parts, “Getting to Know ArcGIS” and “Conducting a
GIS Project,” include tutorials. The first tutorial will help you
quickly learn the basics of browsing GIS data and making maps. The
second tutorial will show you how to use the ArcGIS Desktop
applications together in the context of planning and conducting a
GIS analysis project. Most important, you will learn a framework
for structuring your own GIS analysis projects.
Getting Started with ArcGIS is the first step with ArcGIS, whether
you are an experienced ArcGIS user or a new user just getting
started with the world’s most advanced GIS software.
