Abstract
ABSTRACTGeography has an established relevance to many of the most important challenges facing society across the human–environmental spectrum. Among many areas of application, geography has a historical record of connecting location concepts, tools, and expertise to the key planning and operational issues confronting business and other institutions in society. This article examines the context for applied geographic research falling within this location intelligence sphere, and profiles the body of research in this field published at the Applied Geography Conferences over its first thirty-five years. Our analysis shows that although location intelligence has had an ongoing representation at the conference, its presence has fluctuated greatly. The disciplinary profile developed here tracks the shifting emphasis of location intelligence research and its relation to broader, real-world needs. We conclude by interpreting these findings and making recommendations related to increased self-assessment and repositioning of research in the location intelligence community.
