Description: "The findings of this volume show how research into the use of group-based GIS results in new knowledge of participatory problem-solving and decision making. It provides keys to the collaborative spatial decision-making approach using theory, methodology and substance. Examples of spatial decision problems include allocation of funds for primary health care, site selection for transportation improvement, and arrangement of sites for estuarine habitat (re)development." "It may be treated as a methodological aid for researchers and students interested in collaborative spatial decision making and as a guide for practitioners introducing a collaborative approach to solving realistic spatial decision problems."--Jacket.
