Abstract
Advances in technological developments in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has enabled the application of GIS in landscape mapping, environmental management, natural hazard risk and disaster management. As geographi- cal information becomes more widely available through satel- lite and aerial imagery, the cost of software decreases and GIS expertise expands, it is most likely that the use of GIS will increase. The methodology has practical applications for police, crime scene investigators and forensic geoscientists. The aim is to develop GIS use in forensic search beyond mapping to offer a set of decision support tools that utilise the spatial analytical capabilities of GIS. This enables better management and understanding of the complicated and interrelated nature of a ground search.
