Proceedings preface (2nd edition)

The Second Scandinavian Research Conference on Geographical Information Systems was held in Hønefoss, Norway, on October 19-21 1988. The conference was the second in a series of Scandinavian conferences; the first one was held in Linköping, Sweden in 1985, and the third one will be held in Denmark in 1990. The use of GIS has grown rapidly during the last two to three years in Scandinavia, but the number of institutions carrying out research in this field is still relatively small. However, the breadth of papers which were presented to this conference indicates that GIS is playing an important role in many aspects of planning and management in the Scandinavian countries.

We hope that this conference and future ones in this series will inspire further research and development in Geographical Information Systems.
