Abstract: Abstract. This paper examines why GIS has made little contribution to the dissemination of spatial analysis procedures. In the future, it is anticipated that GIS is more likely to embrace procedures which are exploratory and local and which are capable of performing multiple roles. To facilitate this, there is a need to develop more interdisciplinary interaction, new texts, and integrated software.
