GIS is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking,integrating, manipulating, analyzing and displaying datarelated to positions on the Earth's surface.
Typically, a Geographical Information System is used forhandling maps of one kind or another.
With GIS, you can explore the spatial element of your datato display soil types, track crime patterns, analyze animal
migration patterns

Quantitative vs qualitative.
Quantitative- concerned with
investigating things which we couldobserve and measure in some way(biology, chemistry etc.)
Qualitative-attempts to increase our
understanding ofwhy things are the waythey are in our social world and whypeople act the ways they do (psychology,sociology, anthropology)

Often involve direct interaction withindividuals on a one to one basis or in agroup setting
The benefits of using these approachesinclude richness of data and deeper
insight into the phenomena under study.
Unlike quantitative data, raw qualitativedata cannot be analysed statistically
