Exploring the Role of Geographic Information System (GIS) Applications in Enhancing Agricultural Sector Management
Abstract
This research explores the application and impact of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in improving agricultural sector management in the Philippines, with a focus on government agencies operating at regional, provincial, and municipal levels. As a spatial data analysis tool, GIS integrates hardware, software, and data to facilitate the visualization, interpretation, and management of geographically referenced information. In the context of agriculture, GIS supports precision farming, resource optimization, and evidence-based policy-making, offering a more dynamic alternative to traditional agricultural management methods.The study employs a quantitative, exploratory research design using a self-structured survey instrument administered to selected government employees. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling based on their familiarity with GIS and roles in the agricultural sector. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to examine perceptions of GIS roles, benefits, and challenges in agriculture. To maximize the benefits of GIS in agricultural management, its effective deployment requires strategic investments in digital infrastructure, workforce training, and up-to-date geospatial data. These efforts will be essential in addressing national food security goals and in fostering sustainable agricultural development amid climate and population pressures.
