Abstract

This paper discusses the issue of land use planning and land policy making for mountain regions, considered as regions with specific characteristics (natural, cultural, etc.), but also development constraints. Spatial decision making in such regions is characterized by complexity (semi-structured spatial decision problems) and multiplicity of problems. These indicate the need for qualitative information in support of the decision-making process, in order to improve effectiveness in decision making. Toward this end, it is first presented the state-of-the-art of MC-SDSSs and their significance as a planning tools for mountainous areas; second are outlined the multiple benefits from the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in the context of MC-SDSS for Multisite Land Use Allocation (MLUA) procedures applied in mountainous areas; and finally, a MLUAL methodological framework as the core of a future MC-SDSS is proposed.
