Abstract

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the use of expert systems in land-use planning in general and site selection in particular. It focuses on the theoretical discussion of different types of computer-based systems (i.e. expert systems, decision support systems, integrated systems) and tries to assess the usefulness of each system for the urban planner.
