Enhancing Decision Support Systems with Spatial Capabilities
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter introduces spatial dimensions and measures as a means of enhancing decision support systems with spatial capabilities. By some way or other, spatial related data has been used for a long time; however, spatial dimensions have not been fully exploited. It is presented a data model that tightly integrates Data Warehouse and Geographical Information Systems ⎯ so characterizing a Spatial Data Warehouse (SDW) ⎯; more precisely, the focus is on a formalization of SDW concepts, on a spatial-aware data cube using object-relational technology, and on issues underlying a SDW ⎯ specially regarding spatial data aggregation operations. Finally, the MapWarehouse prototype is presented aiming to validate the ideas proposed. The authors believe that SDW allows for the efficient processing of queries that use, jointly, spatial and numerical temporal data (e.g., temporal series from summarized spatial and numerical measures).

In addition to their archival and display functions, spatial information systems have often incorporated an analytical component. Often, this capability has not provided decision-makers with the degree of modelling flexibility and support that they require. Spatial decision support systems are designed to assist decision-making by fully integrating analytical, display and retrieval capabilities...

Todays, urban distressed textures are considered as a vital concern of managers, particularly in large cities. These areas, which also appear in official parts of cities, are vulnerable because of prospective problems. Lack of proper accessibility, services, facilities, and infrastructures, as well as social, economic, environmental and spatial problems, are key problems of these areas. Althoug...
