What is GIS and why we use it ?
A Geographic Information System (GIS) integrates hardware, software and data for capturing, managing, analyzing and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.
Geography Matters
Geography plays a role in nearly every decision we make. Choosing sites, targeting market segments, planning distribution networks, responding to emergencies or redrawing city boundaries—all of these problems involve questions of geography. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports and charts. In short, a GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared.
GIS Data and Maps:
The City of Malden is in the process of creating a "Public GIS Parcel Viewer" and other public maps and data. GIS Data should be available sometime in July/August of 2012.
