Why Fengshui is Important?
 

According to Innes and Simpson, "GIS includes the knowledge of programmers and engineers, the practice of using overlay maps for environmental analysis, the laws and ordinances requiring protection of resources, the financing of planning and regulation, and the education of planners." Hence, GIS should not only be treated strictly as a technological innovation, but rather as a socially constructed technology.

As with any new technical tool, the design of an instrument is a small part of the innovation, since for it to function properly, it needs to be adapted to the organizational and individual changes of the society. Thus, innovations are integrated into practice through the association of the user's practice and technology capabilities. In turn, these capabilities will change and evolve with the users' cultural diversification. The use of Feng Shui in our society today is a consequence of the assimilation occurring in the country due to the ever-changing socioeconomic and demographic transitions.

The flow of migration into the United States had been in a steady rise since the 1980's. When settling in the country, immigrants bring with them not only their economic resources (e.g. labor skills and knowledge), but also an array of socio-cultural traits. Though these traits are imbedded in their persona, a blended assimilation to the new country's culture -- as well as the country's assimilation to the immigrant's culture -- takes place. Consequently, this transition changes the planning principles and forms of planning used in our country today. With respect to GIS technology, Lake (1993) believes that GIS is ethically flawed because it relies on a partial and incomplete approach to ethics as well as its lack to comprehend and respect the differences among the individuals that constitute the data that the system is based on. According to Curry (1993), this underlined difference in data is constituted by the positivist assumption of subject-object dualism. Under GIS, the separation of subject object occurs when access to massive databases leads the analyst to objectify the subject data. In this case, the "other is seen as existing in Cartesian space and technical, chronological time, rather than lived space, or place, and human or narrative time, while the person [the analyst] doing the judgment remains centered in the human world, seeing himself or herself as making decisions and acting freely." By objectifying the data, the individuals become indistinguishable and interchangeable under GIS. This is contrary to a 'real' situation where the characteristics of the individual may vary over space and time. GIS is an integral technology capable of handling complex data and analyzing it so to achieve a union and correlation with data from diverse layers of information. But it is not the complexity of GIS what is been questioned. Rather, it is the objectification of the data used. By applying GIS technology to subject data gathered with Feng Shui analysis, the results presented by the combination of both sciences can be more specific and less bias to generalization.
