本文介绍了一个决策支持系统（DSS）的可持续发展和环境保护的农业地区的框架内开发的Interreg-Archimed项目，题为WaterMap（开发和利用脆弱性地图的监测和管理的ARCHIMED地区的地下水资源）。其目的是优化农业地区的生产计划，同时考虑到该地区的可用资源、环境参数和脆弱性地图。该决策支持系统是基于优化多准则模型。在决策支持系统中对脆弱性地图进行空间整合，使区域当局能够制定政策，优化农业发展，保护地下水不受农业用地的影响。决策支持系统还可以用于模拟不同的情景和政策，由当地的利益相关者，由于不同的社会，经济和环境参数的变化。通过这种方式，他们可以实现替代生产计划和农业土地使用，以及估计不同政策的经济，社会和环境影响。决策支持系统是计算机化的，并由一组关系数据库支持。相应的软件已在Microsoft Windows XP平台上开发，使用Microsoft Visual Basic，Microsoft Access和LINDO库。出于演示的原因，本文包括在希腊北方的一个地区的DSS的应用。
This paper presents a decision support system (DSS) for sustainable development and environmental protection of agricultural regions developed in the framework of the Interreg-Archimed project entitled WaterMap (development and utilization of vulnerability maps for the monitoring and management of groundwater resources in the ARCHIMED areas). Its aim is to optimize the production plan of an agricultural region taking in account the available resources, the environmental parameters, and the vulnerability map of the region. The DSS is based on an optimization multicriteria model. The spatial integration of vulnerability maps in the DSS enables regional authorities to design policies for optimal agricultural development and groundwater protection from the agricultural land uses. The DSS can further be used to simulate different scenarios and policies by the local stakeholders due to changes on different social, economic, and environmental parameters. In this way, they can achieve alternative production plans and agricultural land uses as well as to estimate economic, social, and environmental impacts of different policies. The DSS is computerized and supported by a set of relational databases. The corresponding software has been developed in a Microsoft Windows XP platform, using Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Access, and the LINDO library. For demonstration reasons, the paper includes an application of the DSS in a region of Northern Greece.
