GIS/LIS & Spatial Information Acquisition & Management

Definition And Purpose

GIS/LIS is a system of information management that incorporates a sophisticated set of computer based procedures and algorithms for handling spatial data that may be used for research, management decisions and administration process. Generally, the spatial database is geographically related and may consist of a very wide variety of information.

Methodology and Instrumentation

(i)	The major components of a typical GIS/LIS system are:-
	(a)	System/database management
	(b)	Database creation/data entry
	(c)	Manipulation and analysis of spatial data
	(d)	Display and product generation
(ii)	The input necessary for the creation, management and maintenance of a GIS/LIS system can be generally classified as follows:
	(a)	Consultancy
	(b)	Acquisition of the necessary hardware and software
	(c)	Data acquisition
	(d)	Data processing and establishment of the database
	(e)	Data manipulation and analysis
	(f)	Maintenance and updating of database
(iii)	Some of the instrumentation required are:
	(a)	Hardware for digital data acquisition
	(b)	Computer hardware with the necessary peripheral
	(c)	Appropriate GIS software for data capture, processing and management

Eligibility Criteria

To ensure accountability and professionalism in the conduct of GIS/LIS and spatial information it is a must that quality, regulatory and disciplinary control be imposed on firms involved in this filed. The proprietor or partners of these firms must therefore be professionally qualified as well as registered with the Land Surveyors Board

To be eligible to carry out this specialised survey, a firm must be equipped with the relevant instrumentation and software.
