Abstract
Land management activities become more and more complex and involved. Decision making is a social activity, involving numerous people, with different backgrounds and different beliefs. This paper explores potential contributions of social cognition science that may improve human-computer interaction, and more generally GIS usability through better use patterns and design methods. It concludes with the need to foster the role of GIS and maps as media for better human-human interaction.
