Preface

The international CUPUM (Computers in Urban Planning and Urban Manage-ment) conference has been one of the premier international conferences for theexchange of ideas and applications of computer technologies to address a range ofsocial and environmental problems relating to urban areas. The first conferencetook place in 1989 in Hong Kong. Since then this bi-annual conference has beenhosted in every continent of the world (with the sole exception of Africa) (seebelow). In 2013, delegates gathered for the 13th time in the city of Utrecht in thecentre of The Netherlands.

The CUPUM Board has promoted the publication of a book with the collectionof the scientific papers that were submitted to the conference. Those papers wentthrough a competitive review process that resulted in the selection of what thereviewers deemed to be the best CUPUM papers. All these papers fit the mainoverarching theme of this specific CUPUM conference: Planning Support Systemsfor Sustainable Urban Development. Therein, we acknowledge that sustainableurban development is an issue that deserves wide and continuous attention.Moreover, it reflects the growing worldwide recognition of the importance ofPlanning Support Systems (PSS) with their background in GIScience as instru-ments for planning and policy support in general and for achieving sustainableurban development in particular.

Organizing the programme of an international conference and editing a volumeof scientific papers requires time, effort, and support. First of all, as book editors,we would like to thank the authors for their high-quality contributions.

Second, we would like to thank the reviewers for their difficult task to assessand select the best papers for inclusion in this book. The double-blind reviewprocess was not an easy task, for sure, and it is always difficult when a number ofpotential authors are going to be disappointed. The group of reviewers whoassisted us in this difficult selection process and provided the selected authors withvaluable comments on their drafts were the members of the Board of Directors ofCUPUM and the Advisors to this Board (see below). By fulfilling the review

v

process double-blind and demanding at least three reviews per submission webelieve that the review process has been conducted in a fair and equal way.

Third, we would like to thank our scientific sponsors (the Faculty of Geosci-ences and the Urban and Regional Research Centre URU of the Utrecht Univer-sity) for their contribution in time and resources to this publication. In addition, wewould like to thank Springer Publishers for their willingness to publish thesecontributions in their academic series Springer Lecture Notes in Geoinformationand Cartography. This is the first time that a selection of best papers from theCUPUM conference has been published by Springer. Last but definitely not least,we would like to thank Ingeborg Koppenol, our office manager, who checked anddouble checked all chapters and in doing so, ensured that a book would actually beforthcoming.
