Geospatial Intelligence for Research, Decision-Making, and Development
Overview
EORIC’s GIS Analysis & Data Services unit provides comprehensive geospatial support for research, planning, and project implementation. We specialise in designing, developing, and maintaining geographic information systems (GIS), custom maps, and spatial datasets to support academic, governmental, and industry applications across Ghana and Africa. Whether you’re mapping environmental trends, analysing spatial patterns, or building interactive web-based geospatial tools, our team delivers the expertise and data solutions you need.
Our Core Services
1. Data Needs Assessment
We help clients define their geospatial requirements and guide them in identifying the most appropriate datasets and analysis methods.
2. Geospatial Data Requests
Access curated geospatial datasets for use in research, planning, and monitoring activities. We provide both raw and processed spatial data based on your needs.
3. Spatial Analysis & Modelling
We conduct a wide range of spatial analyses, including:
– Land use/land cover change detection
– Hotspot and proximity analysis
– Network analysis (transport, utilities)
– Suitability modelling for agriculture, urban development, and conservation
4. Geocoding Services
Convert address and location information into mappable geographic coordinates to support business intelligence, health surveillance, and asset management.
5. Cartography & Map Design
We produce professional, high-quality maps tailored to specific research, policy, or field operation needs. This includes thematic, topographic, and interactive web maps.
6. Custom Map Development
Design custom GIS maps for presentations, reports, and dashboards—leveraging local, national, or regional datasets.
