Abstract

Geographic Informat ion Systems (GIS) have become an effective tool for decision support. Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) is a relatively new field developed based on Geographic In formation System (GIS) and Decision Support System (DSS). SDSS will be an important component of DSS applications in future. This trend will be driven by the relevance of spatial info rmation as a co mponent of the info rmation needed for a wide range of decisions. This class of DSS will make an important contribution, not because of its use of the latest technology, but because it will allo w decision makers incorporate a spatial dimension in their decision making. So Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS) are decision support systems where spatial properties of the data to be analyzed play a major ro le in decision making special in many sectors. Maps and geographic features can be used to show decision related informat ion and relationship between objects to solve important problems like in spreading diseases and industrial pollution.
