Advantages of GIS
GIS is a potentially powerful tool for the management of heritage sites as:
- It enhances operational management capability;
- It empowers heritage site managers, allowing them to participate more fully in the planning and co-ordinating activities of their own site, and the actions of other government departments and agencies;
- Successful GIS implementation is not technically difficult;
- Software can be run using low-end PCs and other enabling technologies are now relatively cheap and readily available
