Abstract

design methods and aids

town and city planning

information technology

Over the last decade, planning support systems (PSS) have emerged as a viable information and communication technology extension to geographic information systems in planning, combining geospatial tools and information frameworks to support planning processes or sub-processes for specifically defined spatial scales and planning contexts. This paper addresses the utility of PSS technologies and methods for site planning applications by documenting the process, results and lessons learned from a PSS based alternative scenarios analysis created in support of a business park site planning process. PSS capabilities are demonstrated within the context of site planning in order to establish and document methods for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of site scale development alternatives. The case study details PSS functionality and methods utilised to address options for spatial land use allocations, environmental mitigation concerns, the role of aesthetics in enhancing and maintaining facility value, and the integration of the site with its surrounding environs. Conclusions identify issues for successful PSS implementation in site planning and recommendations on future research.
