Abstract:
The paper introduces a situational conceptual model designed to investigate complicated spatial systems, Industry-Natural Complexes (INCs) in particular, that provides automation of every modelling stage with possibilities to equally treat information from calculating modules, which simulate parts of an INC, and from integrated GIS and expert system. This approach is featured with wide usage of expert knowledge, employment of the GIS not for object mapping only, but for task setting, spatial-dependent calculations and modelling results' displaying as well.
