Abstract Geographic Information Science (GIScience) plays a vital role in today’s era. Prior to the development of GIScience, all these tasks were done on a human level in which not only a lot of time and capital was used but actual knowledge of the subject matter was also not possible, because it was not always possible to reach a particular place. GIScience is based on Sudur sensor calculators, so that no aspect of the Earth can be hidden. It is partly covered with the various traditional disciplines like environmental science, applied mathematics, geophysics, geography, oceanography, spatial statistics, etc. GIScience came into the market between 1990 and 1992 as a game changer which contributed to the formation of geographical information science (GIS). The work potential of contributing to the work was discovered through this science, including database designing and modeling can be done in any area. This technology is used in scientific research, resource management, asset management, archaeological work, urbanization, and criminology. There are a variety of applied fields of GIScience which are used in current scenarios for the better understanding, interpretation, and visualization of the data.

globally known as the Father of GIScience in the present age of g-Governance (Goodchild 1992). As presented by Goodchild, the evolution of GIScience is traced back to two keynote addresses entitled “Spatial Information Science and Progress on the GIS Research Agenda” at the Fourth International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling held in Zurich, Switzerland, July 1990; and Second European Geographic Information System (GIS) Conference held in Brussels, Belgium, April 1991, respectively (Peucker et al. 1978; Tobler 1970; Tomlin 1990; Tomlinson 1968). GIScience includes the accessible technologies and cartographic research areas (map-making), geographic information systems (GIS), surveying (accurate measurement of features on the Earth surface), digital image processing (processing and analyzing of satellite date), geodesy (understanding the Earth’s orientation in space, gravity field, and geometric shape), photogrammetry (photography in surveying and ma
