THE CLASSIFICATION OF CITIES IN SHANDONG PROVINCE, CHINA, USING A COMPUTER-BASED DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM

THE CLASSIFICATION OF CITIES IN SHANDONG PROVINCE, CHINA, USING A COMPUTER-BASED DECISION SUPPORT... China has been experiencing rapid urban growth since the beginning of the 1980s. This new trend of development, coupled with limited resources, has prompted planners to generate and evaluate different strategies for regulating urban growth at the national and regional levels. This paper offers an approach to classify urban places by hypothesising alternative planning scenarios. It introduces and demonstrates a computer-based decision support system QDSS) to tackle this problem. We argue that the computer-based DSS will improve the quality of planning in that it organizes the analysis in a systematic and replicable fashion, allowing different scenarios to be evaluated and compared, though the immediate outcomes using DSS cannot be treated as ‘the answers’ in themselves. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Asian Geographer Taylor & Francis

China has been experiencing rapid urban growth since the beginning of the 1980s. This new trend of development, coupled with limited resources, has prompted planners to generate and evaluate different strategies for regulating urban growth at the national and regional levels. This paper offers an approach to classify urban places by hypothesising alternative planning scenarios.

We argue that the computer-based DSS will improve the quality of planning in that it organizes the analysis in a systematic and replicable fashion, allowing different scenarios to be evaluated and compared, though the immediate outcomes using DSS cannot be treated as ‘the answers’ in themselves.
