TL;DR
These two applications demonstrate the usefulness of GIS as an interactive survey tool and decision support system for activity planning using interactive surveys to collect information about activity scheduling process of tourists' leisure activities.
Abstract
This paper describes the development and applications of two geographic information systems (GIS) based activity-travel simulators. One of the applications was developed for the purpose of instructing students in understanding the theory of space-time prisms/accessibility and travel behavior under spatio-temporal constraints (SMAP_E), and the other application was developed as a decision support system for activity planning using interactive surveys to collect information about activity scheduling process of tourists' leisure activities (SMAP-L). These two applications demonstrate the usefulness of GIS as an interactive survey tool and decision support system.
