Abstract

The paper sets out to demonstrate the ways that Geographic Informatics Systems (GIS) being open to use in spatial analysis and town and country model simulations can serve town and country planning. The author maintains that the ongoing informatics revolution that started in the 80s is one of the major reasons why GIS is evermore brought into the town and country planning process. The paper seeks to demonstrate how, in the world of a post industrial society, present day town and country planning models and GIS grow ever the closer. The author however points up the poor offer of actual working tools that GIS can offer such planning concluding from this that as there does exist great potential for growth in the second half of the 90s then an effort should be made to adequate GIS to this so that they might truly serve as Planning Support Systems. The paper also runs over the possible growth potential in this field as it is envisaged in recent anglo-saxon publications.
