- improved decision making: visualisation of spatially occurring events and issues aid in evidence based decision making
- societal gains: better understanding of economic distribution and correlation of services and opportunities for society and
- enhanced development opportunities: greater ability to disseminate large datasets for spatial decision making processes and applications.
