Dear friends,
As you know, GIScience can be used for infrastructure management in many fields. But GISystem is a system (software or etc) that we use it as a tool or method to manage or make decision wisely. What people, generally, know about GIS is the latter one! There is a big difference between a science and a system (or a tool)! I hope that we all (GIS experts,
Geographers and Earth scientists) try to introduce both GIS aspects to others, not only GISystem. If we know and use GIScience very well, we'll manage and make decision wisely about topics like fire prevention in forests, natural hazards, homeland security, public health, power outage, and etc. What do you think?
