Abstract
In this paper we examine the basic issues related to the design of development environments for applications in the field of land information analysis (land planning, risk assessment, urban design, pollution control, and so on). In particular, we discuss the approach we believe correct in the development environment design. Moreover, we point out that the development environments should provide the user with high level languages for complex primitive integration on a unique logic data structure. The flexibility of these languages gives the scope of the environment. Examples of the power of such languages are also provided, exploiting a real development environment, in order to show what the present technology and know-how allow for the realization of such systems.
