Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between multipurpose land information systems and the acquisition, distribution and use of political power in U.S. local governments. It is argued that local governments will be the primary adopters and users of these systems. Evidence from related research suggests that adoption of computerized land information technology will act to reinforce, rather than redistribute, the existing distribution and use of political power. However, this evidence is based on non-land information system computer adoption. The need to conduct specific political and institutional research on land information systems, and to begin conceptualizing and testing a democratic theory of their adoption is stressed.
