Development of road safety activities and verifying its effects require implementing and utilizing of an effective them are arised because of the lack of compatibility between their natures and complexity evaluation and control system. Spatial elements such as road geometry, climate, terrain topography and man-made features can be used as factors of an effective hazardous locations management system. Applying the effects of these elements in multicriteria decision-makings, encounter the management processes with a variety of challenges, most of and ambiguity of their inter- and intra-relationships in real world. In this situation, utilization of a common part like their spatially referenced specification and implementing the required relationship, create the possibility of an integrated and seamless environment development copped with real world situation. Development and utilization of such an environment is possible through the exploitation of new technology of spatial datasets creation (eg. GPS, RS and...) And Geospatial Information management Systems (GIS) beside the realization of information society concepts in this domain like data sharing, interoperability and spatial data infrastructures (SDI). Here we will discuss the place and role of a GIS in hazardous locations management, which is derived from other activities and our experiences. For the covering abstract see ITRD E135448.
