 abstract={For several years, attempts have been made to apply GIS in regionalization, both in deductive and inductive way. In the first group of deductive methods, authors concentrate on existing revisions of regional divisions, confirmation of regions names or unification issues. In inductive methods, authors concentrate on the analysis of regional boundaries determination processes. The main problem of the analysis is the subjectivity of determination for the course of the boundary and its rank. This situation depends, inter alia, on the proper terms and definitions used in the studies, status and generalization level of source data, versatility and sensitivity of methods used for research, different types of environmental structures in genetically and functionally various regions. The overall aim of the study is to verify the applicability of GIS functions and tools in physico-geographical regionalization (methods given by Richling 1972, 1976; Przewoźniak 1981, 1985) by rewriting the classic, manually proven methods into computer automated process. Minimization of subjectivity in regional boundariesdetermination is achieved by developing a working algorithm of GIS functions and tools. On this background, during studies on five areas in Pomerania (each 25 × 25 km), authors showed the existing sources of artifacts and defects in spatial data, which were used in the study. The procedure involves essential features and tools for vector and raster spatial data processing.},
