Designing a Decision Support System for Land Use Planning in Agricultural Production

Abstract

This paper reports the results obtained in designing and building a decision support system for
agricultural production land use planning. The work which has been done so far is multidisciplinary in
nature, involving collecting data of crop production, analyzing and processing GIS data, designing
databases of an information system, investigating multiobjective linear programming and group
decision making models for achieving experts' consensus and collective decisions. The decision
support system for land use planning as designed has the following functions: administrating system,
plotting mapping data, managing databases, solving the multiobjective linear programming model and
making group decision based on experts' opinions.
