GIS enables us to visualize and comprehend space, the elements within it, and the related factors, which assists in decision-making for selecting data collection sites (screening). These techniques and tools allow us to gather spatial data during field surveys, perform spatial analyses, and create maps in the office. These maps are utilized in our project reports, student theses, and article publications. This unit employs specific tools and software.
The tools used include laptops, USB drives, an internet connection, GPS, and a compass, among others.
