Geographical Information Systems (GIS) often do not meet the expectations of users and management, raising questions and doubts as to their overall success and effectiveness. To date the majority of GIS research has focused on technical issues, and management research has approached GIS effectiveness from a purely cost benefit perspective. This study adopts a holistic, multi-perspective approach to the issue of GIS effectiveness, identifying measures of effectiveness related to the fields of Information Systems (IS), Management Information Systems (MIS) and GIS. It applies these measures using the case study methodology in a small South African local authority, the Ceres Municipality. 2016-01-02T04:17:12Z 2016-01-02T04:17:12Z 1998 Master Thesis Masters MSc (Eng) http://hdl.handle.net/11427/16088 eng application/pdf Division of Geomatics Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
