Description: This book introduces expert systems for problem solving in environmental planning and describes the way in which heuristic knowledge and rules of thumb of expert planners can be represented through computer programs. The book presents practical applications of expert systems for solving many important environmental planning problems, such as land use and resource management, GIS and spatial modeling, environmental impact assessment, hazardous waste site investigation, and noise control. Also discussed are methods for creating and testing expert systems designed specifically for environmental applications.
