Geographic Information System for Urban and Regional Planning. — This article describes the different stages in the development of a demonstration of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for urban and regional planning. It describes the background of the project, the problems encountered in the collection of data and the four 'modules' which constitute the demonstrator. The aim of the project was to show to planners the advantages that can be obtained from the utilisation of GIS and also to provide a basic tool for teaching the principles of GIS. The demonstrators were developed for the planning policy section of the Department of the Environment.
