Abstract: I suggest that GIS will help regional scientists address several important problems. First, better definitions and delineation of regions are possible. Second, better measures of spatial relationships are possible. Third, improved procedures for developing estimators in spatial econometrics are possible. Each of these issues in regional science has a focus on space or the region as the critical element in problem definition and problem solving.
