Abstract
An information system named GEO and its related instrumental environment are described. The technology implemented in GEO integrates the geographic information technology with case-based and knowledge-based system technologies. An example of a GIS application to seismic hazard assessment for the region which is formed by the Lesser Caucasus and by the Eastern part of the Great Caucasus is discussed.
