Abstract

ABSTRACTSince the early 1970s, feminist geographers have negotiated issues of power relations and social structure based on gender differences using various qualitative research methods. With the advent of geographic information system (GIS) technologies in the field of geography, some feminist geographers and GIS researchers who are interested in feminist theory and perspectives have begun to implement and incorporate GIS technologies in their research. They have presented, analysed and visualised inequality issues of various social categories including gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, socio-economic background and physical disability. This article illustrates critically how feminist research methodology, combined with GIS technologies, has influenced the development of GIS research.
