Benefits of GIS Technology

GIS, or Geographic Information System, is a computer system that is capable of compiling, storing, analyzing, and displaying large amounts of data identified by geographic location. QK’s GIS staff are experts in utilizing the ArcGIS suite of software products to fulfill data collection and graphic needs for all types of projects. QK has utilized GIS technology in our engineering, planning, survey, biology and landscape architecture projects for over twenty years.

GIS can be used as a tool to facilitate data management so that jurisdictions can better plan for expansion, meet funding application requirements, manage their resources, and meet state and federal reporting and policy requirements.

Websites can be developed with GIS software to give quick private/public access to the data. Maps can be created dynamically and shared across the web.

GIS can be used to collect, rectify, analyze and manage data such as locations of zoning district, city limits, flood zones, utility lines, aerial images, and General Plan designations.
