Abstract
Solutions to spatial problems often impact a variety of stakeholders. Geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial decision support systems (SDSS) provide useful tools for the analysis of spatial problems and can be used to investigate the impact of alternative solutions on individual stakeholders. These technologies are, however, often expensive and difficult to implement. As such, some suggest that GIS and SDSS provide an unfair advantage to those with the economic means needed to implement the technology.
