Popis: The chapter introduces the Online What if? (OWI) GIS-based planning support system, which is being made available through the Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN). AURIN has been established to provide an advanced information infrastructure to support discipline-specific and multi-disciplinary research and promote sustainable urban development in Australia. OWI is an open source online version of the widely used desktop What if? planning support system developed by Klosterman (1999). OWI enables a range of end users to create and explore what if? land use change scenarios. This chapter discusses OWI in the context of a demonstrator case study in Hervey Bay, Queensland, and introduces future applications of this collaborative planning tool to support the sustainable planning of cities in Australia.
