“…Confirming the findings of other studies that have explored the benefits of Internet technologies, such as those of Kingston et al (2000) and Shiffer (1995aShiffer ( , 1995b, participants also give strong support to the development of these technologies in a planning context. At the same time however, participants are aware that social practices and the social contexts in which GIS are used will have a strong influence on the communicative abilities attributed to these systems.…”

“…The 'chauffeurs' were researchers and graduate students familiar with GIS, the content of the specific system and aims of the workshop. This approach was based on experience in Computer Supported Co-operative Work (CSCW) studies (Nunamaker et al 1991) and other Participatory GIS studies (see Shiffer 1995a, 1995b, Jankowski & Nyerges, 2001.…”

“…Talen (1999) for example, suggests that a fully interactive GIS would permit users to view conventional information based on government information, to alter the scale of data, to explore multi-media links that visualise data as tables, pictures and virtual realties, and to add layers of information generated by local people. Shiffer (1995aShiffer ( , 1995b for example, suggests that this kind of integration is useful in environmental planning settings.…”

The paper draws on an empirical study of two workshops in which the issues that arise from the use of GIS as a planning tool in public participation settings where explored by local residents who take an active interest in local planning matters in their London borough. The paper demonstrates how issues concerned with the democratisation of GIS and Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) informed the structure and conduct of the workshops and the qualitative analysis of the workshop discussions. Key themes raised by participants include the potential of PPGIS as a means of extending knowledge networks; issues of data ownership and the responsiveness of data providers to public concerns, and the role that institutional norms and practices play in democratising information availability and the transparency of the decision-making process. The paper concludes that the potential of PPGIS as a planning tool cannot be separated from public concerns about the legitimacy of the planning process or local government.2

“…The term PSS was first used by Harris (1989); Harris and Batty (1993) to describe systems that combined a range of computer-based models and methods. In the 1990s pioneering work in developing and testing collaborative planning support systems was undertaken by Shiffer (1992Shiffer ( , 1995aShiffer ( , and 1995b. Since the early 21 st century a number of books, reports and journal articles have been published which document more recent…”

Abstract:This paper examines the development of a prototype suite of on-line integrated multimedia-GIS tools to assist in bottom up decision-making. These tools are being developed in the context of scenario planning to enable the community to actively explore different land use options and the implication of government structure and strategic plans. A case study approach is undertaken, focusing on the Jewell Station Neighbourhood, situated in the City of Moreland, Greater Melbourne Region, Australia. The paper documents the first stage of the project, in developing three land use scenarios delivered through a range of technologies including: VRML, HTML, GIS, Pixmaker and Flash. The paper concludes by outlining the future directions of this research that include: the construction of a virtual sandbox, usability testing, and community consultation.

“…These are likely to take the form of maps and other forms of spatial data (aerial photographs, satellite images, etc.) as well as other media such as text, sound, images and video (see [7]). These should work together to convey the historical and policy context of the decision problem as well as its physical, social, cultural and economic setting.…”

Abstract. This paper describes work carried out as part of the Economic and Social Research Council's Virtual Society? Research Programme and presents some initial developments in the field of spatial decision support systems (SDSS) on the World Wide Web (WWW). Particular attention is paid to the development of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and webbased SDSS with the principal aim of increasing public involvement in environmental decision-making. Discussion focuses on public access issues and the implications for online approaches to public participation. Examples of three online SDSS are given covering local, regional and national scale case studies.
