Site Analysis - Introduction to Geographic Information System (GIS)

Why mapping?

Mapping helps us to understand the context, problems, to see insights and things that ordinary picture just can't tell.  It also help us to make decisions, to give reasons and meaning of our design.

We are introduced to Geographic Information System (GIS), a way to select most suitable, desirable site by layering maps.  And by changing the ranking of maps, it will change the preferable destination of site.

For this project, we will be doing some intense mapping, and which will allow us to understand the context better and hopefully capture some insights that might give us a direction to tackle this project.
