Selected salt farms in Iloilo, Antique, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental in the Visayas and Misamis Oriental and Zamboanga in Mindanao islands were successfully mapped using ArcGIS 10.5 software.
The GIS maps will be useful references for devising salt production suitability maps that will tackle the land and water resources and infrastructure, enabling salt farming in the selected study sites. The geographic location of the supply chain actors’ visibility on GIS maps will be an effective support tool in determining their population as well as for tracking the geographic flow of salt during production, trading, and consumption.
GIS or geographic information system is a system that is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data. Where some portion of the data is spatial, thus data is in some way referenced to the locations on the earth.
