Abstract

Decision-making in a complex space-economy is fraught with many difficulties, as is witnessed by an abundance of cases in regional policy, transport planning and environmental management. These difficulties can partly be ascribed to lack of information (imprecise and incomplete data, insufficient knowledge base on long-range issues etc.), but also partly to the multidimensional conflict nature of modern regional, urban, transportation and environmental issues. Such conflicts may concern the trade-offs between different policy objectives, different interests among stakeholders in the space-economy, different competencies of decision levels, etc. (see also Nijkamp et al. 1992).
