Towards a Collective Spatial Analysis - Proposal of a New Paradigm for Supporting the Spatial Decision-making from a Geoprospective Approach

Abstract

This paper presents the progress of a research work that seeks to establish prospective spatio-temporal\nlocations of goods, services or events in a given territory primarily through the application of concepts and/or\ntools that combine Collective Intelligence (CI), Geographic Information Science (GISc) and Complexity\nTheory. Relying on this notion, probable and plausible future scenarios could be projected to conduct various\nstudies within the context of the Geoprospective (an emerging field of research aimed at issues of territorial\nforecasting), which might provide valuable alternatives in the decision-making process in order to carry out\nanticipatory actions to achieve or avoid such scenarios. In the light of the above, it is suggested that this kind of Collective Spatial Analysis (CSA) would provide a new paradigm about how to perform spatial analysis, the same that is based on a cognitive approach of a multidisciplinary group of users who collectively\nparticipate with their knowledge on an interdisciplinary basis, and not from a limited single user approach\nthat uses geometric, statistical or mathematical geoprocessing algorithms.
