WHAT IS GIS?
A geographic information system (GIS) is a
conceptualized framework that provides the ability
to capture ,analyze spatial and geographic data
GIS applications are computer-based tools that allow
the user to create interactive queries, store and edit
spatial and non-spatial data, analyze spatial
information output, and visually share the results of
these operations by presenting them as maps
HOW DOES GIS HELP?
GIS technology applies geographic science with tools
for understanding and collaboration. It helps people
reach a common goal: to gain actionable intelligence
from all types of data.
Geographic information systems are utilized in multiple
technologies, processes, techniques and methods. It is
attached to various operations and numerous
applications that relate to engineering, planning
management,
Transport/logistics,insurance,telecommu-nications,
and business.
HOW DOES GIS HELP IN URBAN PLANNING?
• GIS can help to store, manipulate, and analyze
physical, social, and economic data of a
city. Planners can then use the spatial query and
mapping functions of GIS to analyze the existing
situation in the city.
• Geographic information system also helps in
identifying changes in geographical features or
behavior of a land over a specified time.
• Database management, visualization, spatial
analysis, and spatial modelling are the main uses
of GIS in urban planning.
• GIS is used for the storage of land use maps and
plans, socioeconomic data, environmental data,
and planning applications.

STAGES
Urban planning involves many functions, scales,
sectors, and stages. The functions of urban
planning can generally be classified into general
administration, development control, plan
making, and strategic planning.
The scale of the planning area covered can range
from a whole city to a sub-region of a city, a
district, or a street block. The most frequently
involved sectors of urban planning include land
use, transport, housing, land development, and
environment. Each scale of planning involves
different stages: the determination of planning
objectives; the analysis of existing situations
modeling and projection; development of planning
options; selection of planning options; plan
implementation; and plan evaluation, monitoring,
and feedback. The different functions, scales,
sectors, and stages of urban planning make
different uses of GIS.

URBAN PLANNING - APPLICATIONS OF GIS
.Some applications are
Area monitoring (both on a sectoral and integral basis)
Regional potential and feasibility analyses.
Site selection studies
Alternate plans are generated (flexible design,
optimization and evaluation tools)
Documentation of spatial plans and in the approval
process for the development, building and installation
permit.
Land management and land use planning issues
including the interpretation and formulation of land use
policy. Land-use policy can be interpreted within GIS
using a modelling approach
Urban planning is a valuable force for city leaders to
achieve sustainable development It distributes economic
development within a given territory to reach social objectives
and creates a framework for collaboration between local
governments, the private sector and the public at large.

Network analysis
Sophisticated tabular analysis
Cartography and mapping
Report generation
GIS technology empowers urban planners with enhanced
visibility into data. They monitor fluctuations over time,
evaluate the feasibility of proposed projects and predict their
effects on the environment.
GIS considerably simplifies territorial planning operating
analyzing necessary data concerning their spatial relationship
that allows carrying out complex assessment of the situation
and creates a basis for adoption of more exact and
scientifically reasonable decisions in the course of land use.
