Abstract
Spatial decision making processes often involve a diverse set of objectives, alternatives, and solution approaches. Formulating a spatial decision problem under these considerations will help decision makers and stakeholders understand the structure of the problem and explore the solutions. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of diversity in spatial decision making. Methodological frameworks for incorporating diversity in spatial decision making are also discussed.
