Abstract

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based system for managing and processing geospatial data. GIS has been an important tool in science, government agencies, private agencies and the public since the 1960s. To make GIS more usable and useful to GIS users, the GIS community has paid increasing attention to GIS interfaces. This paper provides an individual level analysis of influence and impact relationship between GIS users and GIS interfaces based on the level analysis framework developed by Korpela et al. The analysis results show that, on one hand, different physical and mental characteristics of the end GIS users have influenced design of GIS interfaces; on the other hand, technologies developed in GIS interfaces have impacted how the GIS users understand and use the GIS in different ways. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
