Spatial data, good governance and society

Johan de Meijere & Mabel Alvarez de Lopez

The paper explores the role of spatial data to support good governance. Traditional models, which percieve space as (private) land, as delivered in cadastral and geographic mapping are insufficient. Especially the public space and the way in which societal process takes place in this space has to be modelled for good governance. Governance and e-governance require visualization of world perceptions as common language for communication between parties in society.
