Hello All,
There are a total of 103 people, who participated in the GIS survey. Thank you all. The survey is based on previous discussions held over the Internet mostly at the Geo Community site and the Birkback School of Geography site. While people with opinions were overwhelming the e-space in these discussions, it seemed to me that there was a need to capture the real picture and that an over the Internet survey could be one fast and easy way of taking such a snapshot.
The first 5 questions in this survey were just copy/paste rather controversial points made in these discussions. The last two questions were about your work and education. The purpose of the survey was to detect questions (the first 5) as issues or non-issues. It doesn't focus on who are you but rather what you think. For example, if you think that there should be a formal separation between GIS users and professionals, do you tend to think that attaching GIS titles as an addition to existing titles bothers you? In looking for such tendencies there is a statistical tool called Cross Tables. In this instance 55% of those who think that there should be a formal separation are not bothered by the tendency, 20% are bothered and 25% aren't sure.
The preliminary results and the Cross Tables are at
