How influential and effective GIS could be in the society was actively discussed in English-speaking countries through the 1990s. Noticing potentials in “Public Participation GIS (PPGIS),” many conducted research. This study reviews research trends and practices related to “GIS and the Society,” promoted in English-speaking countries, and discusses its possible directions in the future. One noticeable trend is that, due to rapidly advancing information-communication technology and its global-scale availability, now citizens can participate in more diverse ways, using the web technology. Taking this trend into discussion shall lead to further development of PPGIS research, from which the sites of citizen’s participation will hopefully benefit.
