Answer to Question 1

Answer: GIS can integrate many forms of measurement (satellite imagery, surveys, censuses, etc.) to provide a research tool in which the user can assess the spatial impact of many factors separately or jointly in social or environmental analysis. It is only important now because electronic data sets and powerful computing have become available to virtually everyone.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The measurement or acquisition of information by a recording device that is not in physical contact with the object under study.
