Review of the role of geographical information systems in housing: potential areas for future research - 1994 - Housing Studies 9(3) July 1994, 393-404(12) .

Draws on a review of the published literature to demonstrate the potential for Geographical Information Systems to aid the decision-making process of housing authorities in the provision, management and control of housing. A great deal of data can be integrated in a corporate database to address housing management, maintenance and development issues. Suggests that GIS could greatly assist housing needs assessment in local areas.
