The aim of this paper is to investigate newly developed spatial monitoring and analysis systems—the emergent area of location intelligence (LI) in relation to geographic information systems (GIS)—from the perspective of the design research strategic modification. It has been argued that this perspective implies corrective attributes and criteria that can advance the existing spatial research models and platforms by proposing a designerly enhanced intelligence research framework and technical solution while also integrating the external transformative issues that have posed a demand for spatial research systems rethinking and redefinition, too. These issues have been centered around the several notions—(1) the extension of the spatial research scale and domain marked by the move from geo-determinants to cosmo-determinants alongside locational or place-based specification, (2) the articulation of dynamic properties and complexity, and (3) the new forms and techniques of reasoning and representation in spatial sciences advanced by digital information technologies, the space-information integration, the use of large data-systems and their control. They have been thoroughly explained alongside different effects they produce, while terminological and technical refinements have been proposed in their regard, as well. The important scientific and theoretical research areas have been addressed for solid framing of such thematic and disciplinary convergence. Their synthesis has indicated the major objective of the paper—the construction of the new common ground for all spatial sciences in the form of the digital research and representation system, strategy and methodology based on design intelligence attributes and modes of operation.
