The Role of Spatial Decision Support System in Regional Business Spatial Community

Abstract:

Decision support systems are tools that extend the functionality of management information systems. Similarly, spatial decision support systems (SDSS) enhance the capabilities of geographic information systems (GIS) with analytical modelling capabilities and support processes of spatial decision making. SDSS offer many kinds of spatial analyses, from processing data (as well spatial as other data residing in databases), do intelligent maps and models of different types of phenomena. Regional Busines Spatial Community (RBSC) is the concept of community gathering units responsible for building infrastructure networks and supplying utilities for citizens of a region.The authors try to create the community on the basis of companies and institutions from the territory of the City of Częstochowa. A commonality of all the aforementioned stakeholders is to be the possibility to participate in the shared SDSS with the purpose of planning infrastructure investments on the territory of the city. This paper aims to examine the functionality of accessible GIS and to indicate how they can be enhanced with analytical modeling capabilities for the needs of the considered community.
