Since the 1990s, the possibilities of geospatial analysis in conjunction with GIS have dramatically increased in the context of the consolidation of geostatistical data, high-precision GPS, improvement of PC processing capability, and expedited LAN access. In light of the new situation, the author discusses how social networking tools have permeated our daily lives, and how the unfounded rumours fly over the internet are easily spread, how easy for people to obtain such unconfirmed information and be instigated, and how the intangible online rumours have a concrete effect on the real world. It is the location information that links virtual world to the real world and makes possible to cause an action to really occur. In this chapter, the author intends to establish a notion of “geospatial stigmatization”—the geospatial dimension of stigmatization. In doing so, two recently published Japanese websites, Oshimaland and Hasansha-Map, are illustrated as cases of the present study. These two are both digital archives of human-related ulterior properties geotagged to electronic maps and caused massive controversies. By investigating these websites, we will be able to obtain a better understanding on how better PGIS should be, because they both created under the influence of people-powered mapping paradigm.
