License Agreement

WISE comes with a license file, required to start the software. This license agreement spells out the terms of using WISE.

WISE is an integrated spatial decision support system designed to support integrated policy analysis and long-term spatial planning. It is a stand-alone software programme that runs on Windows PCs (we recommend using a 64 bit processor).WISE can be used to explore different scenarios of future regional or sub-regional development, identify trade-offs and evaluate the consequences of policies.

WISE has been developed under the Creating Futures Programme, a 4-year research programme funded by the Foundation for Research Science and Technology (now Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment). Currently WISE is being applied to several case studies to explore its use in support of policy, planning and decision-making.
