This book integrates Multicriteria Decision Analysis and Geographic
Information Science, offering a comprehensive account of theories,
methods, technologies and tools for tackling spatial decision problems and showing how GIS-MCDA aids planning and management.

This book is intended for the GIS Science and Decision Science communities. It is primarily targeted at postgraduate students and practitioners in GIS and urban, regional and environmental planning as well as applied decision analysis. It is also suitable for those studying and working with spatial decision support systems. The main objectives of this book are to effectivley integrate Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) into Geographic Information Science (GIScience), to provide a comprehensive account of theories, methods, technologies and tools for tackling spatial decision problems and to demonstrate how the GIS-MCDA approaches can be used in a wide range of planning and management situations.

Jacek Maczewski is professor of geography at the University of Western Ontario, Claus Rinner is associate professor of geography at Ryerson University.
