Abstract– This research deals with quantitatively studying abiotic factors – rainfall and temperature of the protected area, Gir Sanctuary by the means of GIS technology. ArcGIS Desktop version 10.7.1 was used for creating rainfall and temperature maps of the study area over the period of ten years (from 2011 to 2020). The results indicate higher rainfall and temperature in the Eastern Gir region as compared with Western Gir region. This also positively corelates rainfall and temperature. This research is the first study of Gir Sanctuary with respect to studying abiotic factors with the help of GIS technology and can be replicated in other protected areas of Gujarat.
Key words: Gir Sanctuary, ArcGIS, Abiotic Factors, Temperature, Rainfall
