Abstract  The modelling and formal characterization of spatial vagueness plays an increasingly important role in the implementation of Geographic Information System (GIS). The concepts involved in spatial objects of GIS have been investigated and acknowledged as being vague and ambiguous. Models and methods which describe and handle fuzzy or vague (rather than crisp or determinate) spatial objects, will be more necessary in GIS. This paper proposes a new method for modelling spatial vagueness based on type-2 fuzzy set, which is distinguished from the traditional type-1 fuzzy methods and more suitable for describing and implementing the vague concepts and objects in GIS.

Key words： Fuzzy theory      Type-2 fuzzy set      Spatial vagueness      Geographic Information System (GIS)      Membership function (MF)
