ABSTRACT

The main objective of this paper centers on reviewing the evolution of Decision Support System's (DSS) architectures, particularly as they apply to natural resources. Today it is difficult to conceive the existence of a rural planning automated system that doesn't include spatial analysis functionality and that does not consider the integrated use of different analytical modules. This wider range of functions allow for solving problems from resource and environm...
