Tools to decision making in conflicts of interests on metropolitan and local scale: the role of the geo-technologies based on GIS and Parametric Modeling of Territory Occupation

It presents discussion on new trends in the planning of complex urban areas. It defends the role of geo-technologies, GIS and the Parametric Modeling of Territorial Occupation, as instruments of great efficiency in decision making. Argues that the territorial changes in urban scale occur in two ways: by urban surgeries and by parameterization of the occupation. Presents a methodological proposal to act in regional scale and in local scale, based on GIS and modeling, to characterize a context and simulate a local reality. It argues about the importance of investing in visualization in
order to promote wider involvement of the society. It discusses how to act on conflicts of interest.
