GIS, Elections, and Politics
Political geography focuses on past election cycles in order to look at how voting patterns develop and why. Mark Altaweel discusses how GIS can be used to study those patterns.
GIS and Quick Response Codes
As smart phones and Quick Response Codes (QR codes) have become ubiquitous, it perhaps should not be surprising we are beginning to see applications integrating QR code data with GIS.
Using GIS to Map Drug Trafficking
GIS has significantly aided police in crime prevention, notably in fighting drug trafficking.
GIS and Small Business Planning
Small businesses increasingly use GIS for spatial analyses like kernel density estimation or Monte Carlo simulation to boost their success.
GIS and Underground Mining
GIS has been utilized to monitor tunnels and areas explored, as it provides both 3D visualization and abilities to integrate various sets of data for visual and quantitative analysis.
