Geographical information systems and location science

Since the 1970s the field of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has evolved into a mature research and application area involving a number of academic fields including Geography, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Land Use Planning, and Environmental Science. GIS can support a wide range of spatial queries that can be used to support location studies. GIS will play a significant role in future location model development and application. We review existing work that forms the interface between GIS and Location Science and discuss some of the potential research areas involving both GIS and Location Science.
