Abstract

Tourism is an activity that implies the geographical dimension for users (the tourists) providers and planners. Besides its spatial dimension, tourism involves aspects of social, economic and environmental implications. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is particularly developed for the management purpose as well as to study the spatial phenomena. More specifically, the GIS is employed for developing, storing, managing, analyzing, and visualizing the extensive amount of spatial and non-spatial data related to activities and resources. This paper is part of the Development of Tourism Decision Support System (TDSS) project of Sustainable Tourism Research Cluster (STRC) of Universiti Sains Malaysia. This paper focuses on a GIS-based spatial decision support system (SDSS) application that integrates GIS functions and SDSS designs with user friendly graphic user interfaces (GUI) in helping visitors of the Langkawi Island to choose and plan their activities more effectively, according to their personal preferences and constraints.
