"This paper explores the
possibilities and limitations facing rural sociologists who may want to
integrate rural data bases, TIGER data files and GIS technology. More
specifically, GIS [Geographic Information Systems] technology is
described, the details of the 1990 [U.S.] census and TIGER are
highlighted, and finally, specified examples and suggestions detailing
how rural sociologists can use GIS technology to improve the quality of
their research are provided."
