If you need to make critical decisions that affect people, infrastructure or other valuable resources in unstable regions of the world, you’ve come to the right place. As leaders in Human Geography, Geographic Services, Inc. (GSI) is revolutionizing the way risk and opportunities are assessed, insights are gained, and decisions are made by a wide range of government and commercial organizations.

GSI transforms sound geographic, linguistic and sociocultural research into easy-to-use geospatial databases, uncovering patterns of behavior and human activity that can significantly impact an organization’s goals or mission. This type of data is especially useful in locations where political and social structures no longer serve the needs of society and traditional affiliations, such as families, clans, tribes and criminal organizations, use contemporary social media to step in and fill the gap.

Other providers deliver sociocultural reports, PowerPoint presentations, tabular data or coarse scale mapping products, which may have value but are difficult to use. In contrast, GSI uses a unique combination of geographic information system (GIS) expertise, advanced linguistic knowledge and sound sociocultural research to provide a true understanding of the cultural landscape and an analytical framework for making intelligent decisions on the ground.

Our unique methodology, in-depth expertise and custom tools and technology enable us to deliver a more accurate, reliable and thorough understanding of the cultural landscape than any other source available.

Our Human Geography data is used to meet a wide range of needs:

• Deciphering the beliefs, attitudes and practices of local people 
• Identifying secure locations to build pipelines, oil rigs, facilities or offices
• Studying cities, nations and groups of nations to determine viable, low-risk trade routes 
• Analyzing the ethnic, race and religious ties that defy geographic boundaries and borders
• Tracking the movement of key groups of people or individuals
• Understanding how to reach groups of people through specific marketing channels to help organizations achieve their goals and missions.
