Popis: The characteristics and function of geographic information system (GIS) technique were summarized and the advantages of GIS application in environmental impact assessment (EIA) were introduced. GIS can provide good function of information technology for EIA, based on its strong ability on processing spatial data and attribute data. The applications of GIS in establishing environmental information database, selecting sites for projects, making environmental thematic map and combining with environmental model to predict environmental impact were introduced. The traffic noise prediction of Beijing Xiwai Street west extension project in EIA report was taken as an example to introduce GIS application in urban road EIA.
