Abstract
The underlying goal of GIS/LIS '93 . Hungary was to accelerate Europea n integration of GIS/LIS technology and information bases to support d ecision-making by governments, nongovernment organizations, business, and private citizens. This article presents the background and finding s of a commissioned taskforce that was designed to: (a) provide feedba ck and documentation on the 1993 conference; (b) suggest directions fo r future GIS/LIS meetings in Eastern and Central Europe; (c) serve as a benchmark for measuring and gauging progress made towards the overal l integration goal, and (d) provide a foundation upon which to constru ct a cumulative body of knowledge on the topics, methods, and experien ces considered at subsequent conferences in the series.
