Evolving Views of Computer-Aided Planning

Abstract: This article reviews the planning profession's changing views of the role of computer technology in planning practice, research, and education. It begins by reviewing the literature reflecting the enthusiasm that greeted the introduction of computers in the 1960s and the harsh lessons that were learned in the 1970s. It then examines the current literature focusing on practical issues of applying microcomputer technology to professional practice and the political characteristics of public sector computing.

“…mapping and spatial analysis). The sophistication, availability, uptake and applications of such technologies however, was generally low and uneven in practice and research (Klosterman, 1992;Klosterman & Landis, 1988;Lee, 1973;McLoughlin, 1969;Whited, 1982). Arguably, the emerging technologies largely did not change fundamental conceptualisations of the profession, or the types of tasks planners of the time were engaging in, but rather changed the format in which they were presented.…”

“…A vast body of academic literature on computer-aided models and methods has accumulated since computers entered planning in the 1960s (see e.g., Harris, 1985;Klosterman, 1992;Trianstakonstantis and Mountrakis, 2012). Complex and expensive integrated land use/transportation models are used increasingly in practice, but only by well-funded academic institutions and regional transportation planning agencies.…”

“…These queries may be supplemented with a variety of information in various combinations such as maps, narrative descriptions, photographic images, and human gestures (such as hand waving or pointing). An increasing number of these queries are directed at computer-based analytic tools [2]. Unfortunately, many of these tools lack the descriptive abilities of images and human gestures.…”
