Introduction

It has been demonstrated that simple and straightforward simulation archetypes within a Spatial Decision Support method (SDSS) can be used to design land-use allocation alternatives (eg Grabaum and Meyer 1998) These protoplasts are usually implemented in the so-called "computational framework" of the SDS (Aerts and Heuvelink 2002) Although example results do not always delineate a complete overview of all possible allocation alternatives, they do endow a decision-maker with a quick, and to a certain size reliable overview of feasible solutions.

"Certain extent" points to the uncertainty of the SDS and, in this paper, to the
