Celebrating World GIS Day in the Geography Department, College of Humanities
The annual World Geographic Information Systems Day (GIS Day) is an international occasion held to celebrate the role of geospatial technologies in understanding the world and analyzing its various phenomena.
The goal of this day is to raise awareness about the importance of GIS in supporting decision-making and to highlight its growing role in urban planning, natural resource management, environmental monitoring, security, transport, health, and other fields.
It also provides an opportunity for researchers, students, and institutions to showcase their geographic projects and introduce modern GIS applications, which have become a cornerstone of digital transformation, the building of smart cities, and sustainable resource management.
The adoption of this day confirms the increasing role of GIS in the era of big data and artificial intelligence, where maps and spatial analysis have become an integral part of our daily lives and modern scientific research tools.
