Nowadays, most Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSSs) are designed to solve a specific problem in a given region.This fact makes rather difficult or even impossible to develop comparative analyses and studies among different solutions.This research presents a generic rule-based spatial decision support software tool, able to approach most spatial decision problems within a single framework.To achieve this, the rule-based RIMER+ decision model was embedded in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment.Such system was named Spatial RIMER+, and is able to consider expert knowledge, data uncertainty and both spatial and nonspatial information during the decision making process.
