Emerging trends in geographic information systems

Abstract

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have undergone significant transformations in recent years, shaping the way we analyze and interpret spatial data. This paper explores the latest trends in GIS technology and their profound implications for various industries and society as a whole. We delve into five key trends: 1) the rise of location-based services, 2) the integration of GIS with Internet of Things (IoT), 3) advances in 3D GIS technology, 4) the increasing importance of GIS in disaster management, and 5) the ethical considerations in GIS data handling.
