The upsurge of interest in watershed management and planning has increased the need for user friendly, interactive methods that decision makers can use to evaluate the economic and environmental consequences of alternative land use/management practices (LUMPs). Emerging computer technologies including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing and expert systems, are needed to effectively analyze different components of a landscape and their interactions. Knowledge and information from several disciplines are integrated into a functional computer-based watershed management decision support system (WAMADSS). WAMADSS consists of three components: (1) a GIS, (2) an economic model, and (3) an environmental simulation model. The three components are accessed through a graphical user interface which enables decision makers to generate scenarios, change LUMPs, run the Cost and Returns Estimator (CARE) program and the Agricultural Non-Point-Source (AGNPS) pollution model, and view results of these models within a GIS. The technical expertise required to manipulate the spatial and non-spatial data is imbedded in WAMADSS.

This dissertation advances spatial decision support system development theory by using a geodesign approach to evaluate design alternatives for such systems, including the impacts of the spatial model, technical spatial data, and user interface tools. These components are evaluated with a case study spatial decision support system for watershed management in the Niantic River watershed in Connecticut, USA. In addition to this case study, this dissertation provides a broader perspective on applying the approach to spatial decision support systems in general. The spatial model presented is validated, the impacts of the model are considered. The technical spatial data are evaluated using a new method developed to quantify data fitness for use in a spatial decision support system. Finally, the tools of the user interface are assessed by applying a conceptual framework and evaluating the resulting tools via user survey.
