This paper reflects on where e-planning has been and speculates on its future. It begins by briefly reviewing forty years of efforts to use advanced information and communication technologies in planning research and practice. It then considers current efforts to develop planning and decision support systems (PSS/DSS) that adopt current geographic information systems technology to meet the unique needs of planning. It concludes with the hope that the journal will take the first word of its title seriously and share the wealth of exciting e-planning research that is being conducted in all corners of the increasingly interconnected world.

In the European Union there is solid legal support for the use of information and communication technologies associated with geographic information systems in favour of the environment. Digital technologies not only shape the way we live but they can be a lever for environmental awareness and protection. The potential of the association between information and communication technologies and geographic information systems is huge in order to deepen the European democracies and to promote sustainable development. The ultimate demonstration is the 2007 Inspire Directive. The advantages of the Inspire Directive for the citizens, the Member States and the European Union in what concerns democracy, environmental justice and sustainability in the EU will be briefly analysed.

Abstract Decision Support Systems (DSSs) are interactive computer-based information systems or subsystems intended to help decision makers use information and communication technologies, data, knowledge and/or models to solve complex and ill-structured management problems and to choose the best alternative solution in terms of economics, social impact and environmental issues (Manos et al., 2010). These systems are specifically being designed to address complex tasks involving multiple disciplines, enabling mimicking of the necessary requirements of fruit crops with respect to biotic and abiotic characteristics so that the optimum objectives specified by the user are obtained. They alter production systems, enhance management skills and reduce cost of production by applying modelling, simulations, specialized algorithms, calculation models, optimization and artificial intelligence techniques.

Information And Communication

The rapid evolution of information and communication technologies (ICT) has supported many changes in many areas over the last decade. One of the most successful ICT technologies to emerge was geographic information systems (GIS). These systems allow people to see the world differently, mapping the position and quantity of things, mapping the density of people and objects, and mapping any changes that occur. GIS also allows us to find out what is happening within a specific area or nearby. They can be used in various ways and across diverse areas thus becoming an important area of research. Regarding this chapter, the advantages and disadvantages involved in the use of GIS, especially WebGis or geoportals, were explored and presented, as well as a detailed comparative study in what concers to the main WebGis software solutions in terms of characteristics and functionalities. The main goal of the chapter was to provide users with a list of important recommendations that could help them in the process of choosing a WebGIS software, both in terms of free and proprietary solutions.

Urban Planning And Development

The concept of sustainable urban development has been pushed to the forefront of policy-making and politics as the world wakes up to the impacts of climate change and the effects of modern urban lifestyles. Today, sustainable development has become a very prominent element in the day-to-day debate on urban policy and the expression of that policy in urban planning and development decisions. As a result of this, during the last few years, sustainable development automation applications such as sustainable urban development decision support systems have become popular tools as they offer new opportunities for local governments to realise their sustainable development agendas. This chapter explores a range of issues associated with the application of information and communication technologies and decision support systems in the process of underpinning sustainable urban development. The chapter considers how information and communication technologies can be applied to enhance urban planning, raise environmental awareness, share decisions and improve public participation. It introduces and explores three web-based geographical information systems projects as best practice. These systems are developed as support tools to include public opinion in the urban planning and development processes, and to provide planners with comprehensive tools for the analysis of sustainable urban development variants in order to prepare the best plans for constructing sustainable urban communities and futures.

Marine Accidents

The known navigational systems in use perform information functions and as such are helpful in the process of safe conduct of a vessel. One of the ways to assist in reducing the number of marine accidents is the development of systems which perform decision support functions, i.e. automatically generate solutions to collision situations. The use of information (and communication) technologies including knowledge engineering allows the generation of proposals for anti-collision manoeuvres taking into account the COLREGs. Demand for further enhancement of navigational safety by limiting human errors has initiated a trend to convert navigational information systems into decision support systems. The implementation of decision support systems will potentially reduce the number of human errors, which translates into a reduction of accidents at sea and their adverse consequences. This paper presents a summary of the research to date on the navigational decision support system NAVDEC. The system has been positively verified in laboratory conditions and in field tests – on a motor ferry and a sailing ship. Challenges associated with the development and implementation of such systems are outlined.

The problem of waste has not been handled well, especially in cities, including the city of Kupang. Placing the right location of the trash can be one of solutions to the waste problem. The purpose of this study is to combine decision support systems and geographic information systems to determine the location of TPS locations. There are two stages of analysis, the Brown Gibson method to determine which alternative is best for construction temporary landfill and the second analysis using the GIS approach to determine suitable point. The alternative is Neigborhoods (RT) in the Nefonaek, Kupang. The results showed that in the RT22, RT17, and RT18 which is outside the buffer area were selected as the best candidates for the new location of TPS. The system is tested in two ways, testing the blackbox using questionnaire on two respondents, and the accuracy that compares the results of the system and the results of expert. From the results of the blackbox testing, the percentage values for each GUI, Function, and information obtained were 94%, 92.5%, and 97.5%. And from Accuracy testing, obtained the value of accuracy on the first staff is 86.67% and for the second staff the accuracy value is 80%. From the two staffs obtained an average accuracy of 83.34%.
