Geographical Information System in Geotechnical

A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, and displaying all forms of geographically, referenced information for the specific point that we need. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationship, patterns, and trends and it will display in the form of maps, globs, reports, and charts. A GIS helps us answer questions and solve problems by looking at our data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared.The benefits of GIS generally fall into five basic categories; Cost savings and increased efficiency, Better decision making, Improved communication, Better recordkeeping and Managing geographicallyLarge scale geotechnical earthworks projects, specifically those related to earth dams, dikes, and determining the optimal location to build and reconnaissance soil conditions underground often require construction of deep vertical seepage barriers. With increasing frequency, the demands of contract compliance, quality control, and budget management require structured and efficient management of large data sets. Unless properly recognized, the data management requirements can contribute to the complexity, duration and budget of the project.This paper discusses an application of geographic information system (GIS) technology to capture information from multiple data streams and provide geotechnical feedback, quality control information about Qeshm island in south of Iran. Also the following subjects will be detailed
