The application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing data to survey data collection and analysis has dramatically increased in recent years. As these technologies become less expensive and easier to use, and geographic data becomes more widely available on the web, we expect survey researchers to find even more uses for these tools. While we embrace these tools, however, we should also maintain a healthy skepticism about their capabilities and limitations. This session brings together innovative work by researchers at diverse organizations who are thinking creatively about how to use these technologies to collect survey data, analyze survey data, or make surveys more accurate and efficient. The papers represent the breadth of the applications of GIS technology to survey research.
