Expertise and Expert Systems in British Land Use Planning

  • Chapter
Expert Systems in Environmental Planning

Abstract

Why is it important to research the potential of expert systems in land use planning, when even a cursory acquaintance with planning systems often leads to an immediate assumption? Planning decisions, especially as the system operates in the UK, are based on a set of policies and plans that are full of technical criteria. These policies and plans require a good measure of interpretation and professional judgement, despite (or perhaps because of) the array of quantitative techniques that planners have borrowed from other disciplines over the last fifty years.
