GIS In Our Daily Lives

The involvement of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in our daily lives is pervasive, influencing and enhancing various aspects across different sectors. The integration of GIS into everyday activities has become integral for decision-making, planning, and optimizing resources. GIS helps city planners and transportation experts to provide them with information like maps, satellite pictures, population statistics, and infrastructure data. GIS helps them make better decisions when designing cities and transportation systems that are sustainable and good for the environment.

The following points elucidate the notable involvement of GIS in our daily lives:

Navigation and Location Services: GIS provides monitoring functions through the visual display of spatial data and precise geographical positioning of monitored vehicles, whereas GPS provides accurate, clear, and precise information on the position and navigation of a monitored or tracked vehicle in real-time and at the exact location.GIS is at the core of navigation applications and location-based services on smartphones. It enables accurate mapping, real-time navigation, and geolocation services, assisting individuals in finding locations, planning routes, and navigating unfamiliar areas.

E-Commerce and Delivery Services: GIS software is a powerful tool for supply chain network planning. It helps determine the optimal location for distribution centers, warehouses, or other supply facilities. GIS is utilized in logistics and delivery services for optimizing routes, tracking shipments, and ensuring timely deliveries. E-commerce platforms leverage GIS to enhance the efficiency of their supply chain and last-mile delivery processes.

Weather Forecasting and Disaster Management: Many states are using GIS dashboard to monitor the rainfall across the state, on a real-time basis, from the data shared by rain sensors installed at various locationsGIS plays a crucial role in weather forecasting and disaster management. It assists meteorologists in analyzing spatial data, predicting weather patterns, and facilitating timely responses to natural disasters by mapping affected areas and coordinating emergency services.

Healthcare Planning and Disease Monitoring: Geographic Information Systems enable the visualization and monitoring of infectious diseases. Additionally GIS records and displays the necessary information that health care needs of the community as well as the available resources and materials. GIS supports public health initiatives by mapping the spread of diseases, analyzing healthcare resource distribution, and assisting in the planning of vaccination campaigns. It aids in identifying high-risk areas and optimizing healthcare service delivery.

Social Media and Geo-tagging: GIS also helps in geotagging and other location related information in posts, it’s tools can map and visualize the spatial distribution of social media activity. This analysis can reveal trends, hotspots, and patterns in user engagement across different geographic areas. Many social media platforms incorporate GIS for geo-tagging, allowing users to share their location and experiences. This feature enhances social connectivity and facilitates the sharing of location-specific information.

Smart City Initiatives: The Geographic Information System (GIS) offers advanced and user-friendly capabilities for Smart City projects and allows to capture, store and manipulate, analyze and visualize spatially referenced data. It is used for spatial analysis and modeling. It is the cornerstone of smart city planning, enabling the integration of data for efficient urban management. It supports initiatives related to traffic management, waste disposal, energy consumption, and overall infrastructure development.

Education and Research: GIS is increasingly utilized in education and research for visualizing and analyzing spatial data. It enables students and researchers to explore geographic relationships, conduct field studies, and enhance their understanding of various subjects.

Agricultural Management and Precision Farming: Farmers leverage GIS to optimize agricultural practices by analyzing soil conditions, crop health, and weather patterns. Precision farming techniques, facilitated by GIS, contribute to increased crop yields and sustainable farming practices.

Real Estate and Property Management: In the real estate sector, GIS aids in property mapping, land valuation, and site selection. It provides real estate professionals with valuable insights into spatial relationships, market trends, and optimal development opportunities.

Tourism and Recreation: GIS enhances the tourism industry by providing interactive maps, route planning, and location-based information. It assists tourists in exploring destinations, finding attractions, and navigating efficiently.

The broad and varied involvement of GIS in our daily lives underscores its significance as a technology that not only facilitates geographic data analysis but also contributes to the efficiency, safety, and interconnectedness of modern society. As GIS applications continue to evolve, their impact on daily activities is expected to further expand and refine.

Why African Marriages Continue Even After a Husband's Cheating

Marriage is considered as one of the most important institutions in African societies as it is a social, economic, and political unit. It is therefore not a surprise to note that marriages continue even after a man cheats. In this discussion, we will explore the reasons why African marriages continue even after a man cheats.

Firstly, African marriages are not based solely on love between two people. Family and societal expectations play a crucial role in the formation and continuation of marriages. In Africa, marriage is not just about love and companionship. It is also about maintaining family honor, reputation, and prestige. Thus, despite the man's infidelity, the woman will still stay in the marriage to uphold her family's honor. African families are tightly knit, and the man's actions are not seen as an individual wrongdoing but as a collective and familial issue.

Secondly, marriage in Africa is a covenant between two families, not just two individuals. Through marriage, families gain access to networks, resources, and opportunities. Thus, the continuity of a marriage even after a man cheats is highly valued by both families involved. Their connection to each other allows for long-term benefits and mutual gains.

Thirdly, men are expected to have multiple partners, and it is normalized in many African societies. In some cultures, having more than one wife, or extramarital affairs, is accepted as a sign of virility or power. In this sense, it is expected that a man will cheat, and when he does, it is not seen as a deal-breaker in the marriage. Instead, women are expected to stay quiet and endure as their primary role is to maintain harmony within the family.

Fourthly, divorce in African societies carries a significant stigma and can lead to marginalization and shame. Women who are divorced may be ostracized, face difficulty remarrying, or may be blamed for their failed marriage. Thus, women would choose to stay in the marriage, despite the man's infidelity, to avoid societal repercussions.

Fifthly, financial stability is a vital component of marriage in Africa. Women are often not economically independent and are expected to rely on their husband financially. Divorce in this case would mean a loss of monetary support, which could lead to poverty and destitution. Therefore, even when men cheat, women are encouraged to stay in the marriage to secure their economic livelihood.

Sixthly, African marriages are not just between two people but are often multigenerational. Grandparents, parents, and extended family play a significant role in the marriage, and their interests are also considered. The man's infidelity may be seen as a personal matter between the couple, but the entire family is impacted by the decision to stay in the marriage or not. The family's input in the decision-making process means that marriage continues, even after a man cheats.

Seventhly, cultural practices and beliefs play an essential role in African marriages. In some cultures, marriage is seen as a sacred union and regarded as unbreakable, even in cases of infidelity. Furthermore, in these cultures, faith and spirituality guide every aspect of life, including marriage. The belief that marriage is a divine union blessed by God makes it hard for anyone to contemplate divorce regardless of what has transpired.

Finally, African marriages are characterized by interdependence, whereby marriages are not just about love and companionship but also about mutual support and survival. In this sense, marriages are seen as a collective endeavour to build a sustainable future. Even when a man cheats, the woman is often expected to remain in the marriage, and through her efforts, she can work to repair the damaged relationship.

Conclusionary, African marriages continue even after a man cheats due to cultural and societal reasons. The desire to maintain family honour, financial stability, societal expectations, and the influence of extended family all contribute to the decision to stay in the marriage. Ultimately, African marriages are complex and multifaceted, and people must weigh all the factors involved before making significant decisions about their marriage. The reasons for continuing a marriage after infidelity may not be easily understood by people from other cultures, but they speak to the unique complexities of African societies and the meaning attached to marriage in these contexts.

WindTalkers' 6th century ride in search of 100 year old Jambhul/ Jamun trees!

Sunday 10 December 2023, we four friends cycled or biked to BAHADOLI (famously known as JAMBHULGAON) in Palghar, in search of hundred year old Jambhool/ Jamun (?Syzygium cumini). In their search, we cycled more than hundred kilometres!

The blog post is divided as follows:

Jamuns of Jambhulgaon and their 100 years old Jambhul trees.

Photos en route from sunrise.

Other things in Bahadoli.

Return trip by sunset.

I thought hundred year old living beings would look really old. But no. They look young. Almost unbelievable young and strong. What I realised is we compare their age to humans and since humans look really old even before their 100 and that is why the expectation that they should look really old.

JAMUNS OF JAMBHULGAON & THEIR 100 YEARS OLD TREES:

Now the star of our trip! The trees!

These two may be the original trees in the village, whose seeds, saplings and grafts have spread the Jamun farming in the entire village of Bahadoli , which is now known as JAMBHULGAON.

Here is the link to the article in the newspaper.

We met the villagers in this village, who welcomed us graciously in their home and took us on a tour in their village. They are proud of their efforts. The villagers and the farmers of this village are the real stars, whose efforts have won them the GI tag and their jamun fruits are export quality.

The season for Jamuns is around April-May-June.

The bamboo scaffoldings protect the trees while picking the fruits. The tree and its branches are delicate. Earlier, when the trees were shaken to collect the fruits, they used to get damaged. If someone climbs a branch to collect fruits, the branch breaks. So an innovative solution was found by the villagers. They climb these scaffoldings and pick up the fruits by hand, without harming the trees.

2. PHOTOS EN ROUTE FROM SUNRISE:

Now let us go for a ride.

03:45 wake up alarm. 04:40 start cycling. 05:00 meeting of friends. 09:00 breakfast. 10:30 reach Bahadoli (60 kms cycled). 11:00 to 13:00 guided tour of the village. 15:00 to 16:00 lunch halt at NGO Seva Vivek. 19:15 home sweet home.

The point of the photo is the waning crescent Moon and Venus conjunction, happening behind us.

4. RETURN RIDE BY SUNSET:

My friend, PP (Anna), completed his first 100 km cycling ride in this trip!

Many thanks to my friend, Dr JVT, who connected us with the villagers and they welcomed us all, treated to refreshing tea and took on a guided tour of their home and village.

While returning, my cycle's chain malfunctioned and the road-side mechanic solved it using 14 no. pana. We all were home by 19:30. Legs were aching. I was sleepy and dozed off while seeing the photos.
