Abstract
Spatial decision support systems (SDSS) can enhance the quality of analyses of real estate investment. They can be designed to address weaknesses in current problem-solving procedures, which typically follow from the ill-structured nature of the investment problem-solving (decision-making) task. In this paper, real estate investment problems are discussed as ill-structured tasks, and the nature of human problem-solving activity is described as a basis for specifying SDSS functionality. Specific features of these functions are then discussed, and a representative example of SDSS operation is provided.Keywords
