本文总结了2006年9月在GIScience会议上举行的可视化、分析和空间决策支持研讨会的成果。讲习班上的讨论和对现状的分析表明，需要作出协调一致的跨学科努力，以便在支持空间决策方面取得实质性进展。现实生活中问题的规模和复杂性以及它们的模糊本质要求计算技术的力量和人类分析、设想、推理和深思熟虑的能力之间真正的协同。现有的方法和工具还远远不能实现这种协同作用。只有在地理可视化和信息可视化、人机交互、地理信息科学、运筹学、数据挖掘和机器学习、决策科学、认知科学等学科领域的成就的基础上，才能有针对性地研究合适的方法。为这一新的研究方向建议的名称为“地理视觉分析用于空间决策支持”，强调了可视化和交互视觉界面的重要性以及与视觉分析这一新兴研究学科的联系。这篇文章以及整个特刊的目的是引起具有相关专业知识和兴趣的科学家注意需要多学科努力的重大挑战，并促进建立一个专门的研究社区，在这个社区中，适当的能力范围和适当的思维广度相结合。
This article summarizes the results of the workshop on Visualization, Analytics & Spatial Decision Support, which took place at the GIScience conference in September 2006. The discussions at the workshop and analysis of the state of the art have revealed a need in concerted cross-disciplinary efforts to achieve substantial progress in supporting space-related decision making. The size and complexity of real-life problems together with their ill-defined nature call for a true synergy between the power of computational techniques and the human capabilities to analyze, envision, reason, and deliberate. Existing methods and tools are yet far from enabling this synergy. Appropriate methods can only appear as a result of a focused research based on the achievements in the fields of geovisualization and information visualization, human-computer interaction, geographic information science, operations research, data mining and machine learning, decision science, cognitive science, and other disciplines. The name `Geovisual Analytics for Spatial Decision Support' suggested for this new research direction emphasizes the importance of visualization and interactive visual interfaces and the link with the emerging research discipline of Visual Analytics. This article, as well as the whole special issue, is meant to attract the attention of scientists with relevant expertise and interests to the major challenges requiring multidisciplinary efforts and to promote the establishment of a dedicated research community where an appropriate range of competences is combined with an appropriate breadth of thinking.
