This paper explores the possibilities of adopting Business Intelligence (BI), and Geographic Information System (GIS) to build a spatial intelligence and predictive analytical approach. The proposed approach will help in solving spatial problem which faces decision makers at health sector. The proposed spatial analytical approach will cover three main health planning issues. These issues are ta...

In the real estate business, it is a common understanding that the value and potential of a property are fundamentally determined by its location. For real estate agencies, the real estate system can be used as an aid to selling and managing properties, for the buyers, the system can function as consultant in their decision making in purchasing properties. This emphasizes the significations of ...

Land-use planning and environmental management often requires an implementation of both geospatial information analysis and value-driven criteria within the decision-making process. DECERNS (Decision Evaluation in Complex Risk Network Systems) is a web-based distributed decision support system for multi-criteria analysis of a wide range of spatially-explicit land management alternatives. It int...

Ž . Environmental planning takes advantage of geographic information systems GIS to manage geographic data. GIS are, however, tools which require a great deal of training and programming expertise and, furthermore, have little support for decision makers during their planning activities. This paper presents WOrkflOw-based spatial Decision Support System Ž . WOODSS — a software developed at the ...

The provision of dynamic mapping and spatial analysis over the Internet poses challenges both in terms of technology but also bandwidth and performance. d-cypha has met this challenge with the implementation of a three-tier technology solution called d-cyphaMap currently being offered as an ASP service in New Zealand. Underpinned by Oracle Server, the d-cyphaMap solution also incorporates softw...

Flooding is a natural phenomenon that has increasing impact on people and their environment. This is very evident that in the devastation wrought by rising waters inundating homes and farms in East Africa. Flooding only serves to exacerbate the crisis faced by people of that region as they struggle against famine and civil war. A spatial decision support system was designed and used to simulate...

To meet the need of various administrative operations such as estate infrastructure planning and management, allotment and regulation of the industrial plots, establishing new estates at various locations, Geo Spatial Technology is the key solution. Geo spatial technology covers spatial dimension which facilitates to visualize outlook of industrial estates at dynamic geographical scale. The int...

This article describes a decision support system for land-use structure optimization and land-use allocation. This system was established for the rural land managers to explore their land use options. It integrated database technology, expert system technology and spatial decision support system technology. The DSS consist of four components: a geographic information system (GIS), land use modu...
