Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a computer system that uses software and hardware to capture, store, analyze and manage spatially referenced data. GIS can be used for various applications such as crime mapping, transportation planning, and infrastructure management. Specifically for road networking, GIS helps with the design, surveying, construction, operation, and maintenance of road networks. It allows users to integrate data, visualize information, and make informed decisions at various stages of the infrastructure life cycle. GIS is becoming increasingly important in Sri Lanka for applications such as transportation planning, rural development, and infrastructure projects.
