This article presents an original approach to comprehensive planning for supporting decision-making processes in the land-use planning of border town which integrates a set of frameworks and methodologies into technologies based on the use of geospatial information. The technologies embrace the domain of planning support systems, whose urban planner is based on the Geodesign framework. The purpose of this study was to develop a practical framework for Geodesign process to support the spatial planning process in practice. In this paper, a land-use suitability analysis (LUSA) method is proposed and demonstrated for the location requirements of the development and use of land. The study uses the Ban Lak Taeng Border Checkpoint Comprehensive Planning Project (a border checkpoint between Thailand and Myanmar to promoting cross-border trade and tourism, which is located in Wiang Haeng District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand), as the research context for examining the ways that Geodesign was promoted the practical application. This Geodesign enhanced collaborative planning processes, built knowledge of natural and production systems at the urban landscape scale, and integrated consideration of feedback from multiple performance criteria into an adaptive and iterative process of land-use planning and design. The study describes the development and application of the Geodesign system used in the land-use planning process and offers important insights into how the system contributed to the collaborative stakeholder engagement, informed stakeholder decision making, and enhanced the comprehensive plan outcomes.Downloads
