<br/><br/> Difficulties appropriating geographic information technologies often stem from differences between the users' cognitive representation of space and the spatial models offered by the technology. The typology of spatial representations proposed in this paper — supported by numerous examples — aims to establish a frame of reference for validating this general hypothesis. The typology is based on a categorisation of determinants in the cognitive process of representing geographical space.
