Preferred term

humanistic GIScience  

Definition(s)

  • Humanistic geographic information science (GIScience) aims to integrate all human knowledge derived from the humanistic tradition with key issues related to spatial data representation, analysis, and visualization in the context of GIScience. Instead of attempting to maximize accuracy by minimizing or even eliminating uncertainty, humanistic GIScience incorporates the human subjective and even imaginative dimensions of experience in the process of spatial data handling.
