Abstract
A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. The objective of this project was to create a map using GIS with enough data to help dentists to select the perfect place to create a Dental Clinic in Miami Dade and Broward County. For this map was taking into account the population of the counties in Florida, the population younger than 18 years old, and the population older than 65 years old. All of them were vector data layers downloaded through ArcGIS from ArcGIS online. To complete the project was necessary to create layers with the location of every Dental Clinic divided by specialty. It was represented in layers using vector data. To a better understanding for the users, points were used to represent every Dental Clinic depending on the specialty. This project could be used in the future in dental fields. The model of this project could work like an idea for other fields of business to help enterprises achieve their goals.
