Green effect is a phenomenon by which manufacturers apply themselves to environmental protection to obtain comparative advantages compared to their counterparts. Modern enterprises can form profitable green effect by greening of infrastructures, brands, marketing and culture, which contribute its development trend. Manufacturers of coal-mining eco-industrial parks should be in line with the gov...

This paper discusses issues and requirements associated with the development of a spatial decision support system for the USDA Forest Service. A system was developed which integrates optimization based management planning models using map based representations of the spatial area being analyzed. This system was designed to address the decidedly hierarchical planning environment of the USDA Fore...

This study focused on the different tools which are used for the assessment of health risk due to contaminated soils in worldwide scenario. Some of the tools are useful for contaminated lands only but there is also availability of tools which have the features to assessment of risk for contaminated soil and water both. In this study, numbers of tools are studied with their features, developed b...

Most existing software design systems support the use of only a single design methodology. Our major thesis is that a good SDSS should support a wide variety of design methods and languages including structured design, object-oriented design, finite state machines, etc. It might seem that a multiparadigm SDSS would be expensive in both time and money to construct. However, we propose instead an...

We propose a Spatial Decision Support System (DSS) designed for planners and policy makers which will help them develop effective policy interventions for more liveable and sustainable cities. The DSS will be based on novel high resolution urban simulation models augmented with tools capable of measuring and distinguishing sustainability levels as well as tools that support the decision maker i...

The process of studying urban planning implies the involvement land use and surface studies. They are largely necessary on a range topics issues. Sustainable development depends con-trolling effects change. GIS can achieve this through its various capabilities, which be used by planners decision makers. operate as tool system, or even group systems that work simultaneously sequentially. is one ...

Nowadays, most Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSSs) are designed to solve a specific problem in a given region. This fact makes rather difficult or even impossible to develop comparative analyses and studies among different solutions. This research presents a generic rule-based spatial decision support software tool, able to approach most spatial decision problems within a single framework....
