"Dem räumlichen Kontext wurde in den deutschsprachigen Sozialwissenschaften bislang nur beschränkt Beachtung geschenkt. Da geographische Informationssysteme (GIS) den Aufwand für die Erhebung und Analyse raumbezogener Daten erheblich verringern, unterstützen sie die Untersuchung einer Vielzahl verschiedener Forschungsfragen. Die große Bandbreite geografischer Funktionen ermöglicht das Erstellen ansprechender kartografischer Produkte, die das Entdecken räumlicher Muster erleichtern, und das Errechnen raumbezogener Prädiktoren, die in weitere Analysen einfließen können. Im ersten Teil des vorliegenden Artikels werden die Datenerfassung und -beschaffung sowie die Analyse-Grundfunktionen und Ausgabemöglichkeiten von GIS vorgestellt. Am Beispiel der Untersuchungen zur Umweltgerechtigkeit im Schweizer Umweltsurvey wird anschließend eine spezifische Anwendung beschrieben." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"To date, spatial context has only been taken into account very limitedly by German research in social sciences. As Geographic information systems (GIS) reduce the effort of collecting and analyzing spatial data substantially, they allow exploring a whole range of research questions. They facilitate the creation of visually appealing cartographic products that may help uncovering spatial patterns, and the computation of space-related predictors that can be used for further analyses. The first part of this article covers the topic of data acquisition as well as basic analytic functions and output capabilities of GIS. Afterwards, these are illustrated in a study of environmental justice based on the Swiss Environmental Survey." (author's abstract)... view less
