Abstract: Abstract The Planner’s TOOLBOX is a web-based tool for regional planners. It offers knowledge of how to use geographical information and geographical information systems in planning. The main emphasis is on how to implement the principles and practices of sustainable development in spatial planning. The Planner s Toolbox is the end-product of a European Union INTERREG II C project to develop a ‘Planning System for Sustainable Development, PSSD’ involving Finnish, Danish and German partners representing a range of regional planning bodies and national research institutes. The Planner’s TOOLBOX is an associative cross-reference database. It offers examples, theories, methods, indicators, tools and scientific documents concerning questions about planning and GIS. The contents can be examined by using classifications, by undertaking searches and by following hierarchical and associative links. Users can upload their own information into the Planner’s TOOLBOX.
