Over the past five years, the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) laboratory headed by Jörg Schaller at the University of Technology Munich (TUM) has worked on the development of new GIS software processing tools and models for environmental planning and management. The research cooperation between the University of Technology in Munich, ESRI Germany and ESRI Inc. in Redlands and the University of California in Redlands involved the development of new applications of ESRI's ModelBuilder software for planning support, and is based on the existing experience of the four institutions. The cooperation focused on the development of GIS environmental modelling technology to provide new applications in the field of regional environmental planning and assessment, and the applied model and software tools were tested using existing regional databases from Bavarian and Californian sources, and applying them in actual regional planning projects.
