Abstract: Abstract Decision making in space and time is a highly complex process of choosing among alternatives to attain an objective or a set of objectives under constraints. It can be a structured process involving problems with standard solution procedures, or an unstructured process consisting of problems with no clear-cut solution procedures, or even semi-structured problems for which combinations of standard procedures and individual judgements have to be used to find a solution. All these processes generally involve voluminous spatial and aspatial information, structured and unstructured knowledge, human valuation and judgement.
