Abstract

Increasingly complex social issues make it imperative that GIS practitioners be aware of theoretical debates in the human sciences, where arguments over ontological status and epistemological approaches have subsumed technical and methodological issues. Understanding the debates around deconstruction, postmodernism, and structuration is crucial to the development of useful geographic information systems that deal with social constructs. GIS needs to be informed about social theory to remain relevant in contemporary research, but GIS also can contribute to the further articulation of social theory.
