Abstract

When experts and professionals in the world of GIS gather together or discuss with each other,
their claimed field is not merely geographic.
One of the interesting issues in the GIS world is the existence of different people with different specialized fields. Each of them, regardless of their fields of activity, feels that the realm of GIS is mainly dependent on their own profession or discipline, and others are just visitors or deal with GIS for fun or personal interest. To make this clearer, I'll mention examples of comments in this regard.
