Abstract: Abstract Many types of decision making have a geographic (spatial) component. Geographic information systems (GIS) facilitate the organization and display of spatial data and provide a variety of distinctive spatial operations with that data. These functions allow decision makers explore the spatial aspects of their decisions. Consequently, GIS can be seen as an increasingly important technology for decision makers.
