The goal of this paper is to define the potential and the characteristics of TeleGeo-Processing and TeleGeoMonitoring. TeleGeoProcessing, as child of geographical information systems and telecommunications, can be considered as a new discipline characterized by spatial database, cartography on demand, the exchange of information between different sites by ally kind of telecommunication systems, and on-line spatial data analysis. Tele-GeoMonitoring can be seen as an extension of TeleGeoProcessing by the use of positioning systems (global positioning systems [GPS] or GPS-like), real-time databases and real-time group decision-making systems.
