GIS Day and Geography Awareness Week 2020
GIS is a scientific framework for gathering, analysing, and visualizing geographic data to help us make better decisions. On GIS Day, help others learn about geography and the real-world applications of GIS that are making a difference in our society. It is a chance for you to share your accomplishments and inspire others to discover and use GIS. Even though celebrating may look a little different this year, sharing GIS is more important than ever.
Geography Awareness Week (16-21, November 2020), as a way to educate people about how the decisions that they make in everyday life affect the world we live in. Geography can be best described as the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time.
As Global citizens it is important that we are up to speed with current and future geographical issues, and are well informed to positively impact our surroundings.
