1. Mapping CRZ Boundaries: GIS is used to create detailed maps that delineate CRZ boundaries accurately. These maps help government authorities and stakeholders understand the extent of CRZ areas and ensure compliance with regulations.

2. Zoning and Classification: GIS can be used to classify different zones within CRZ areas based on the level of restrictions or regulations. For example, zones may be categorized as No Development Zones (NDZ), Restricted Development Zones (RDZ), and so on. GIS helps in visualizing and managing these zones effectively.
