• Mapping and Visualization: Create detailed maps using various basemaps (e.g.

, satellite
imagery, topographic maps) and customize layer symbology to represent data visually.

• Spatial Analysis: Perform spatial analyses such as proximity analysis (Identifying features within
a specified distance of a point, line, or area (e.g., locating the nearest hospitals to a given
address). Creating buffer zones around features to visualize and analyze distances or set spatial
boundaries), overlay analysis, where two or more spatial layers (like vector or raster data) are
combined to identify spatial relationships, assess patterns, or derive new insights from
intersecting data. and network analysis to uncover patterns and relationships in the data.

• Geoprocessing: Utilize built-in tools to automate and perform geospatial operations like
buffering, clipping, intersecting, and spatial joining.

• Data Management: Organize geographic data using geodatabases and manage data
integrity with editing, versioning, and data validation tools.

• Remote Sensing and Imagery: Integrate and analyze satellite or aerial imagery for land use
monitoring, environmental assessment, and urban planning tasks.

Organizations assign user types to members based on the member's needs and
requirements. Members are assigned a user type when they are added to the organization. The user
type determines the privileges that can be granted to the member through a default or custom role.

Viewer

• Viewers can view items that are shared with them by other ArcGIS users.

Editor

• Editors can view and edit data in ArcGIS maps and apps that are shared with them by other
ArcGIS users.

Field Worker

• Field Workers can view and edit data that has been shared with them by other ArcGIS users.

Creator

• Creators have all the capabilities of the Viewer, Editor, and Field Worker user types.

GIS Professional

• GIS Professionals have all the capabilities and app bundles of the Creator, plus access
to ArcGIS Pro (Basic, Standard, or Advanced).

Applications of ArcGIS
• Urban Planning and Development: Used for zoning, land-use planning, and
infrastructure development. Planners use ArcGIS to assess urban growth, analyze
transportation networks, and model future developments.
• Environmental Conservation: GIS helps monitor natural resources, study ecosystems,
track climate change, and model environmental impacts. Conservationists use ArcGIS
to map biodiversity, deforestation, or pollution sources.
• Public Safety and Emergency Management: ArcGIS is used to map incidents, manage
response operations, and plan for disaster recovery. Emergency responders use it for
situational awareness during crises such as floods, earthquakes, or wildfires.
• Transportation and Logistics: GIS provides tools for route optimization, traffic
management, and logistics planning. It helps in the design of transport networks and
the management of assets such as roads, railways, or pipelines.
• Healthcare and Epidemiology: GIS supports public health initiatives by mapping
disease outbreaks, tracking healthcare resources, and analyzing demographic trends
to improve healthcare accessibility.
Benefits of Using ArcGIS
• Informed Decision Making: GIS tools allow users to derive insights from spatial data,
leading to more accurate decision-making in various sectors.
• Collaboration and Sharing: ArcGIS facilitates data sharing within organizations and
with the public, enhancing collaboration and transparency.
• Improved Efficiency: By automating repetitive tasks and streamlining workflows, ArcGIS
increases productivity and reduces errors.
• Customizable Solutions: ArcGIS provides flexibility for users to develop custom
applications, maps, and analysis tools tailored to their specific needs.
