Research on regional tourism planning spatial decision supporting system

Spatial decision support system (SDSS) is based on the geographic information system and takes the model base as the core. It is an object oriented, spatial information oriented and user oriented decision system with the functions of information analysis and storage, information evaluation and prediction as well as information decision and management. The regional tourism planning decision supporting system is integrated with geographic information system to develop the regional tourism planning spatial decision supporting system with the case study in Anhui province. The modules of the system include data management subsystem, model base management subsystem as well as results presentation and output subsystem. The non-spatial database is designed by using SQL Server2000, the management of spatial information is achieved by using ArcGIS9.2 and MapObjects, and the modules are implemented by using VB. It is basically achieved analyzing, evaluating, predicting and optimizing the tourism planning of the research area by structuring the regional tourism planning spatial decision supporting system.
