Expert knowledge gathered in a ‘what-if’ scenario analysis is applied as it can help charting possible complex linkages between criteria in which planning database is derived by compiling data from multiple sources (Klosterman & Pettit, 2005; Swart, Raskin & Robinson, 2004) .

The system has the value of incorporating the complexity of real world into a decision-making process system whereby it offers a workable mechanism for the local government. Practical implications – The outcomes of the application of GIS-based technology facilitate local government in predicting the possible development impacts due to proposed developments. This can fasten the typical operation in regulating and controlling development changes by the local government who can now rely more on the IT advancement, i.e. via a customised development impact assessment (DIA). It is practical as it gives more information in terms of possible impacts (ranging from environment, social and economy) that would happen due to certain proposed development. This system can facilitate the government in shaping urban development sustainably. Consequently, we hope that the implication of this development impact assessment (DIA) can benefits the local government as the authority governing land matters in their jurisdiction.
