Abstract

The study developed a decision support system (DSS) computer model for rural sustainable development to support comprehensive planning of socioeconomic development and eco-environmental protection in a rural region (Yongxin County, China). It also provides an optimal investment combination analysis for individual farmers. DSSs can support complex decision making through an accessible computer interface that presents results in an understandable form. Results from the representative scenario suggest that maximization of overall economic benefits for 23 towns in Yongxin would require relatively small increases in agricultural and horticultural areas, and significant increases in scale of livestock, poultry, sericulture, forestry, and fisheries.
