Abstract

Geoenabling the Web and providing so called GIservices to the end users belong to the contemporary development trends in the field of geographic information systems (GIS). Today, four main kinds of Internet GIS users are usually distinguished. Their functional needs should be respected during the system analysis and design to provide satisfactory user-friendly environment. This is one of the reasons why so called user-centric design is more and more demanded and attention is paid to usability of provided Internet solutions. This article focuses on Internet GIS users and their needs so the state of art is described. Two case studies are briefly described to show the increasing importance of Internet GIS and their usability.
