Abstract
This paper puts forward a methodology for environmental planning using a geographic information systems-based medium. It explains how the method has been employed in the decision-making process of a land-use plan for the Tuz Lake Special Environmental Protection Area. The methodology is based upon a modelling of expert knowledge in which the opinions of an interdisciplinary group of experts is integrated and continuously refined in the determination of protection zones. The results from this model are then compared with the results of a biological diversity project carried out in the special environmental protection area using a different method. The final decisions on the limits of the protection zones are made using the results of both independent studies.
