Abstract: In this paper we examine the design and implementation of ParcBIT, a multimedia GIS (geographical information systems) CD-ROM presenting the information required for the development of a master plan for a technological park on the island of Majorca (Spain). The CD-ROM is the information resource of an international competition in which master plan proposals were submitted by leading international architects. Environmentally conscious planning is one of the possible fields of application of multimedia GIS, and in this paper the methodological approach for the generation of the content and structure of such a multimedia georeferenced database is described and discussed. The interface and navigation issues are approached from the point of view of making multimedia GIS accessible to nonexpert users. The current status of the development tools, which makes the integration of GIS and multimedia difficult, and feedback from the users of the application are evaluated.
