A “geographic information system†(GIS) is a computer-based tool used to create, manipulate, analyze, store and display information based on its location. Geographic Information Systems are very helpful in agricultural application. Knowledge of current land use is essential to support analysis and management of land, vegetation, water resources and quality, and the maintenance of biodiversity. This study focuses on to store and integrates data for GIS study. This was done for Land Usage Statistics of Gujarat state districts.
