Kazuhiko Sakakibara, Yoshikazu Fukui, Okinori Taniguchi and Fumiko PerryABSTRACT : An approach to build an intelligent database system through managing information techniques, including not only existing approaches to database collection, but also knowledge-based systems, expert systems, hypermedia, on-line information retrieval, etc., was applied to construct a problem-solving support system for road space design. The system is considered to be useful for: (a) specification of the context of the ground the design was placed, (b) clarification of subject issues, targets, effects, etc., of the design, (c) identification of problem structures concerning composition and spatial arrangement of physical elements based on the database system in the design. |
