Abstract

Until recently, the representation of spatial information using computer tools in urban planning was limited to the use of maps. As Parsons (1992) has pointed out, maps represent a three dimensional (3-d) reality in two dimensions (2-d), use fixed scales of representation and have difficulty in representing dynamic features. The use of other data types such as images, video and sound in multimedia spatial information systems overcomes such limitations. In addition, multimedia systems allow for a high degree of interaction. Thus, the application of spatial multimedia to planning supports key actions within the planning process, such as description, analysis and communication of relevant data.
