Geography Awareness Week Geography Awareness Week (GAW) has been celebrated internationally in the third week of November since 1987. The week of activities culminates in the recognition of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Day which is a grassroots event that formalizes the practice of GIS. On this day, geospatial users and vendors open their doors to schools, businesses, and the general public to showcase real-world applications of this important technology and how it can be used for decision-making and problem solving.
The Land Information Council of Jamaica/National Spatial Data Management Division and stakeholders have been celebrating GAW and GIS Day for the past 14 years with technical seminars, expositions and business executive forums. The theme for this year’s GAW celebration is ‘Geospatial Technologies: Advancing Public Health Services’.
