This theme concerns the scientific methods, the research protocols and the generic tools of wide-applicability used to make spatial modelling, to make data processing, to analyse the territorial information and to observe territories.
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS), as well as the Territorial Information Systems (TIS) are particularly concerned within a broad set of methods and tools likely to inspire the professional tools.
The issue of these tools diffusion in the laboratories and during the trainings in humanities and social sciences (HSS), where it remains low and unequal according to the disciplines, is also asked. It refers to the collaboration of the HSS with the nature sciences and with the engineering sciences that usually use these methods.
The emergent questions of territorial information, of scientific and technical information available and accessible to the actors and citizens, of information sharing, of indicators construction, in particular of the indicators of territorial competitiveness, also concern this thematic.
It will especially value the methods which respect the sustainable development and the democratic governance.
