GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.


Starting 2016, GI_Forum publishes two issues a Year.

Abstract

Germany's debate on nuclear energy is characterized by a potential for conflict. With the Repository Site Selection Act, a new strategy was adopted for a participatory search process for the best possible repository site for high-level radioactive waste in Germany. To gain insights into how a Public Participatory GIS application (PPGIS) can contribute to this strategy, a transdisciplinary approach was adopted. By involving a citizen group to take part in the research process, we co-designed and addressed three research questions regarding the role of the PPGIS, its usability and ability to enable dialogue. Key findings include the need for guidance on how to interpret the data provided. Although the potential of a PPGIS to support dialogue is recognized, the need for content moderation emerged as a significant challenge. The transdisciplinary approach was useful in capturing multiple viewpoints and providing new insights into how a PPGIS should be designed to maximize its usefulness.
