The objective of this paper is to develop a knowledge-based computer system for zoning in land use planning.Two main problems are discussed.One is how to acquire knowledge from planning experts and represent them in the form of IF-THEN rules, and the other is how to obtain the final conclusion by utilizing them.The rules are obtained efficiently and objectively based on "knowledge structure graph" which is prepared by DEMATEL method.A new model for fuzzy inference using obtained rules is developed by modifying the Mamdani method in order to simulate human inference mechanism more appropriately.A practical application of developed system is given and its applicability is discussed.
