What does GIS stand for?
. Geographic Information System
Global Information Standards
General Infrastructure Survey
Geospatial Integrated Software
Which two types of data does GIS integrate?
Raster & Attribute
Spatial & Attribute
Temporal & Spatial
Numerical & Graphical
Which of the following is an example of raster data?
Road network
Building footprint
Satellite image
Land parcel boundaries
What is buffering in spatial analysis?
Combining datasets
Creating zones around features
Shortest path analysis
Changing map projections
Which SDG is directly linked to sustainable cities and communities?
SDG 6
SDG 9
SDG 11
SDG 13
What does land suitability analysis evaluate?
Political boundaries
Soil, slope, accessibility
Population growth
Street lighting
Which remote sensing method is commonly used for urban growth monitoring?
Acoustic sensors
Satellite imagery
Soil testing
GPS only
Which hazard is NOT typically mapped in land use planning?
Floods
Earthquakes
Heat stress
Noise complaints
Which global framework guides disaster risk reduction?
Paris Agreement
Sendai Framework
Kyoto Protocol
Rio Declaration
Green Infrastructure is best described as:
Purely concrete flood defenses
Nature-based urban solutions
High-rise buildings
Transport corridors
Which is an example of Green Infrastructure?
Flyover
Bioswale
Expressway
Oil pipeline
Participatory GIS differs from traditional GIS because it:
Excludes communities
Focuses only on satellites
Includes community knowledge in mapping
Ignores local data
Scenario modeling is mainly used to:
Draw random maps
Explore possible futures under different conditions
Measure current infrastructure only
Collect raw data
Which scenario type asks: “What should happen?” and works backward from a desired goal?
Predictive
Exploratory
Normative
Randomized
If a city wants to test whether compact growth or urban sprawl leads to less traffic congestion, which tool is most useful?
Historical census only
GIS-based scenario modeling
Land surveys
Social media analytics
In participatory zoning, why is inclusivity important?
To finish mapping faster
To ensure dominant groups are prioritized
To capture diverse community perspectives
To reduce technical costs only
A barangay uses PGIS to identify evacuation routes during floods. This is an example of:
Land tenure mapping
Disaster Risk Reduction
Green infrastructure planning
Predictive modeling
What is one major challenge in implementing PGIS projects?
Lack of satellite imagery
Data quality, representation, and technical capacity gaps
Too many government incentives
Absence of local hazards
Which infrastructure planning scenario is MOST sustainable for the future?
Business-as-usual with unchecked sprawl
Compact growth near transit corridors
Car-centered highway expansion
Ignoring hazard-prone areas
When using scenario modeling for climate risk, planting urban forests to reduce heat is an example of:
Mitigation only
Adaptation strategy
Exploratory scenario
Normative error
