Abstract

Changes in technology—especially advances in object-oriented programming systems and widespread digital connectivity via the World Wide Web—are fundamentally restructuring the way planners will interact with computers, and with the data and models that reside on those computers. I examine significant trends in remote GIS, emerging standards for the specification of spatial objects, spatial data libraries, object-oriented programming, and internet-based programming languages such as Java. These trends point to a future when the next paradigm for GIS will be planning support systems with embedded spatial data and process models, enabling stakeholders in the planning process to focus more on the “what” and the “why” rather than the “how” of GIS-based models.
