Revisiting the Role of Place in Geographic Information Science
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2018 Although place-based investigations into human phenomena have been widely conducted in the social sciences over the last decades, this notion has only recently transgressed into Geographic Information Science (GIScience). Such a place-based GIS comprises
