\u00a0WEEK THREE
\n<\/strong>GIS APPLICATION
\n<\/strong>Geographic Information System can be applied in different field which include defence, agriculture, mining, transport, urban planning, census, surveying etc.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Some of the problems of GIS in Nigeria are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Inadequate power\n<\/li>\n
  2. Inadequate personnel\n<\/li>\n
  3. Inadequate capital\n<\/li>\n
  4. Poor communication\n<\/li>\n
  5. Low level of technology\n<\/li>\n
  6. Lack of GIS institutions.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0Data representation<\/strong>
    \n\t\t\t\t<\/em>
    \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/strong>GIS data represents real objects (such as roads, land use, elevation, trees, waterways, etc.).
    \nReal objects can be divided into two abstractions: discrete objects (e.g., a house) and continuous fields (such as rainfall amount, or elevations). <\/p>\n

    \u00a0Traditionally, there are two broad methods used to store data in a GIS for both kinds of abstractions mapping references:\u00a0raster images\u00a0and\u00a0vector. <\/p>\n
