协同地理信息系统（GIS）正在成熟为一个重要的工具，理论和实践的集合，以直接支持多利益相关者参与规划和管理的地理分布的资源。协作GIS位于群体空间决策支持系统（GSDSS）的更广泛的学科领域，可以定义为空间使能理论，工具和技术的集成，用于构建人类参与和阐明本地和分布式空间规划过程中的关注问题（Balram和Dragicevic，2006）。典型的系统设计将包括用于基于地图的分析和可视化的数字工作空间、用于参与者交互的多模式界面以及用于提供基线数据和存储新信息的数字数据库。此外，协同GIS通常被集成在一个支持组织和技术结构，以确保连续性，特别是如果变化检测是一个理想的结果。空间决策支持和可视化是协同GIS设计的两个关键应用领域。作为空间决策支持的支持平台，协作GIS发挥了多种作用，例如集成虚拟团队参与者（MacEachren，2001年），构建规划过程（Balram和Dragicevic，2005年; Jankowski和Nyerges，2001年），平衡共识和冲突（Feick和Hall，2002年），以及促进当地利益攸关方参与资源决策过程（Nyerges等人，2006年）。作为一种帮助位于同一地点或分散的个人和团体进行可视化的手段，协作GIS主要用于传达规划方案和结果（MacEachren等人，2005年）。
Collaborative geographic information systems (GIS) are maturing into an important collection of tools, theories, and practices to directly support multi-stakeholder participation in the planning and management of geographically distributed resources. Collaborative GIS are situated in the broader disciplinary area of Group Spatial Decision Support Systems (GSDSS) and can be defined as an integration of spatially enabled theories, tools, and technologies for structuring human participation and articulating issues of concern in local and distributed spatial planning processes (Balram and Dragicevic, 2006). A typical system design will include a digital workspace for map-based analysis and visualization, multi-modal interfaces for participant interactions, and digital databases to provide baseline data and store new information. In addition, the Collaborative GIS is usually integrated in a supporting organizational and technical structure to ensure continuity especially if change detection is a desired outcome. Spatial decision support and visualization have been two key application areas for Collaborative GIS designs. In their capacity as enabling platforms for spatial decision support, Collaborative GIS have served a variety of roles such as integrating virtual team participants (MacEachren, 2001), structuring planning processes (Balram and Dragicevic, 2005; Jankowski and Nyerges, 2001), balancing consensus and conflicts (Feick and Hall, 2002), and facilitating local stakeholder participation in resource decision processes (Nyerges et al., 2006). As a means to aid visualization for co-located or dispersed individuals and groups, Collaborative GIS have been used mainly to communicate planning scenarios and outcomes (MacEachren et al., 2005).
