What is GIS?

• Geographic Information System or GIS
• is a system for capturing, storing, checking,
  integrating, manipulating, analyzing and
  displaying data that are spatially referenced to
  the earth.
• It matters where it happens

Background

• Capiz GIS initiatives started in 1998 when
  Governor Vicente B. Bermejo assumed office as the
  20th Governor
• The Provincial Government deals with spatially
  significant data. Relating data to geographical
  location makes it easier for planners and
  decision makers to objectively decide resource
  allocation and project prioritization
• Two major factors accounted for the
  implementation of Capiz GIS
• It simplifies and rationalizes project
  implementation
• Opportunities offered by USAID-GOLD technical
  assistance

How we Developed the First GIS Applications?

• Capiz as a BACKYARD GIS
• Finding use of the technology and doing things
  within your means
• Data generated from SRA-MBN Survey is the most
  available and extensive making it the number one
  choice for pilot application development
• Participatory Barangay Planning Budgeting
  Workshop was an opportunity to apply the
  technology

  the concept of GIS as well as their understanding
  the value and usefulness of the technology
• The willingness to invest
• The lessons learned
