GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) is a system that integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and displays geographic information. This system can be used for scientific investigations, resource management, asset management, archaeology, environmental impact assessment, urban planning, cartography, criminology, geographic history, marketing, logistics, and other purposes. For example, GIS might allow emergency planners to easily calculate emergency response times in the event of a natural disaster, GIS might be used to find wetlands that need protection from pollutions, or GIS can be used by a company to site a new business location to take advantage of a previously under-served market.

LAND INFORMATION SYSTEME (LIS) refers to a manual or computer-based information system used to store, retrieve, display, and plot spatial and textural data relating primarily to land features and characteristics and land ownership (e.g., tax parcels, urban infrastructure, and property assessment).

Currently, the Local Government of Umingan is in the process of establishing its own GIS/LIS to help the local government better serve its people.
