Abstract: Abstract. This paper is concerned with the intersection of GIS and spatial analysis, its accessibility for scientists who may be less methodologically oriented than others, and its use in substantive research driven by theoretical, conceptual, and empirical issues central to one's discipline. GIS/SA use in this manner has lagged considerably. The case is documented, that there may be shifts in this trend is noted, and suggestions for moving ahead more quickly are put forth. These include instructional efforts, software development, and substantive research that will provide a demonstration effect, guide, and direction for others.
