Theme: Society, Space and Decision
Example: Spatial ThinkingBackground
Spatial thinking is reasoning about problems using spatial concepts and tools for support. It is an important but undervalued human“Intelligence”. One of our Objectives: “To developmethods for testing spatial thinking skills”
Methodology
Steps:1) Identify key spatial thinking concepts2) Formulate levels for each concept3) Develop spatial thinking test4) Evaluate test
Application Wageningen, Den Haag, Twente MSc’s
Results
Conclusion
The test seems to be a good indicator for the evaluation of spatial thinking skills in “ geographical space”, but more research is needed.

Examples of Research in “Spatial Data infrastructures” and “Society, Space and
Decision” Theme: Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI)
Example: Collaboration within SDI
Background
Collaboration is generally considered asa key factor for the success of an SDI. Due to its complexity, not a lot research has been done on this aspect. We try to answer the “question: “Does more Collaboration leads to better SDIs”?
Methodology
Steps:1) Formulate collaboration model2) Determine level of collaboration SDI’s3) Determine development status of SDI’s4) Relate level of collaboration and development status
Application for EU member states
Results
Conclusion
There seems to be a positive correlation between collaboration and development status of SDI. (only up to a certain level)
