The book begins with an introduction of spatial decision support tools for urban and environmental planning by Klosterman. This sets the scene highlighting the important role information technology and spatial models play in supporting planning-based activities. The introduction provides a good segue into the first chapter by Sharifi and Zucca who introduce the reader to the concept of integrated planning and decision support systems where a comprehensive conceptual framework for planning and decision making is illustrated. The authors then describe the use of the Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) module within the Integrated Land and Water Information System (ILWIS) to undertake a selection of suitable sites and designs for a new park in northern Italy.
