Abstract: This paper presents an Integrated Planning and Decision Support System (IPDSS) for land consolidation called LACONISS that integrates artificial intelligence techniques, namely expert systems and genetic algorithms, with multi-criteria decision making methods and a geographical information system. The system involves four modules: LandFragmentS for measuring land fragmentation in an agricultural context; a Land-SpaCES Design module for automating land redistribution; a LandSpaCES Evaluation module for assessing alternative land redistribution plans and; LandParcelS for automating land partitioning. The whole system has been applied to a case study area in Cyprus. The results have shown that LandFragmentS is more reliable than existing methods; the LandSpaCES Design module can successfully emulate planners' reasoning and rapidly produce alternative land redistribution plans; the LandSpaCES Evaluation module is a flexible tool for identifying the most beneficial plan; and LandParcelS produces realistic results. The contribution of LACONISS is relevant to both planners and landowners as it transforms land reallocation into a systematic, automated, transparent and efficient process that may alleviate current problems associated with this process. Eventually, LACONISS may constitute the foundations for developing a generic system that could be applied in any country that implements land consolidation plans.
