SPDSS is an approach that uses an interactive computer-based system designed to support users like town planners, government officials, councillors and mayors in achieving a higher effectiveness of decision making in planning while solving a semi-structured spatial decision problem. Despite its widespread application in planning and decision making process in many other countries, it is relatively new in Malaysia.
