Information technology plays a growing role in planning procedures. A procedure step which has not been supported by specific computer tools up to now, is asynchronous discussions. Such discussions can occur public participation as well between planners during plan design. In this paper I introduce argumentation models way of structuring debates, and review existing for recording argumentation. limited number support design-related or map-related Their short-comings analyzing geographically referenced arguments are discussed. Finally, the concept ‘argumentation maps’ described, combine strengths rigorous modeling detailed geographic location map-based on-line planning.
