Abstract :
Distributed generation (DG) facilities require, like other energy projects, a sitting review process to acquire the permits and approval needs for construction and operation. In this process, different groups and individuals with different roles, interests and priorities are involved. This paper presents a spatial decision support system (SDSS) that helps to identify permissible areas to install DG facilities. Wind energy facilities are used in this paper to exemplify the use of the SDSS
