Approaches to sustainable land use planning have evolved in two discreet directions. One is process-oriented that develops community-wide consensus on the problems and definitions of progress. The other is more technology driven and uses planning support systems (PSS) to identify issues and manage complex information. While process-oriented approaches help garner communal support in determining a future vision, it may be cumbersome its ability to test alternative futures and impacts. A technologically based approach helps to codify issues and process information, but requires more rigorous data and analysis. And while it can test potential future scenarios, it must also be clear enough to provide a communally supported vision for the future. While the approaches appear contradictory, possible benefits can be found in their convergence. Others have suggested that PSS's exist that can help to inform and support the visioning process. Can the visioning process in turn be used to improve the relevance and legitimacy of PSSs? This book argues that in order to truly operationalize sustainable planning ideals we should consider a strategy that integrates process and technology.
