Abstract: The intrinsic logic of cities (LÖW) is a theoretical concept to define urban space based on a socio-spatial network approach. The concept is based on the assumption that highly specific and typical features and tacit processes have substantial influence in the re-production of places. LÖW´s concept of space focuses on orderings of living entities and social goods and highlights the constitution of space in processes of perception, recall or ideation to manifest itself as social structure. This paper links theories and methods to describe and visualise the attribution of meaning to a city. It introduces a mapping approach to visualise socio-spatial networks, trying to partially counter criticism by social theorists who discussed the ontological incompatibility of society-space relation and the spatial approach embodied in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

GIS as a technology has come a long way, from the
early adoption of technical wizardry to the ubiquitous,
if unconscious use by the masses. The creation
of the GISociety is on its way through technological
development, theoretical and empirical scientific
research and inclusion of technology into education
with increasing pedagogical justification.
Defining new dimensions of hard- and software,
brainware and orgware are all needed to further
develop the GISociety.
