These ‘facts’ are assumed to be spatial in the sense that they are located at the earth’s surface. The first chapter outlines that the recent success of applied GIS is based on this ‘real world’ approach, which conforms to the tradition of geography as a scientific discipline. While most GIS-applications are pragmatically oriented in solving ‘real-world-problems’, each attempt to implement ‘spatial theories’ of GIS ends up in the well known geographical dilemma ...
