Basic Concepts
The combination of all the strengths, attributes and resources available within an organization, community or society to manage and reduce disaster risks and strengthen resilience.
Capacity
This element have a single geographic coordinate such as: Tree, traffic accident, lamp post, early warning device, etc.
Point feature
What do GIS stands for?
Geographic Information System
It explains what is being shown on the map.
Title
The conditions determined by physical, social, economic and environmental factors or processes which increase the susceptibility of an individual, a community, assets or systems to the impacts of hazards.
Vulnerability
BONUS
Congratulations!
What do you call the main canvass in QGIS?
Map Canvass
Describes the symbols for various characteristics on the map, such as mountains, rivers, and other key locations.
Legend
A process, phenomenon or human activity that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation.
Hazards
This are a series of geographic coordinates joined to form a line such as: Road, stream, railway, etc.
Line Features
What are the two types of spatial data?
Vector and raster data
Longitude and latitude lines are used to pinpoint specific locations.
Grid
A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and capacity, leading to one or more of the following: human, material, economic and environmental losses and impacts.
Disaster
These are a series of geographic coordinates joined together to form a boundary such as: lake, soil types, flood heights, etc.
Area Features
Give atleast 3 main ideas of GIS
To indicate directions, for instance, North, South, East, and West on the map.
Orientation
The potential loss of life, injury, or destroyed or damaged assets which could occur to a system, society or a community in a specific period of time, determined probabilistically as a function of hazard, exposure, vulnerability and capacity.
Risk
Maps provide two types of information. These are?
Locational information and Spatial Relationships
What are the components of GIS
Hardware
Software
Data
Methods
People
It compares map distances to actual distances (for example, 1 inch equals 10 miles).
Map scales
