ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the construction of the model of the potential willingness of individuals within an organisation to share spatial data. It draws systematically on the qualitative interview material from Phase I, complemented by relevant literature, to address the central research question concerning the factors influencing the willingness of key individuals within organisations to share spatial data across organisational boundaries. The chapter considers in turn each of the components and the underlying beliefs that influence the willingness of individuals within their organisation to share spatial data. It introduces the domains underlying 'attitude'. The chapter also introduces those for 'social pressure'. It explains those for 'perceived control'. The chapter presents number of hypotheses with respect to the relationships between the constructs that are employed, and the explanatory power of the model. It introduces the measures that are used for assessing past spatial data sharing behaviour.
