\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
The current rapid economic growth of Vietnam during its economic transition has increased the pressure on land and water resources which leads to a necessity to adjust the approach to land use planning (LUP) in order to support the economic growth of the country, align its approach with globalisation trends, and provide a framework to manage the development in a sustainable manner. This situation necessitates a change of land use planning from a static and descriptive approach to a dynamic, analytical and strategic one. There is also a need to have a closer alignment between socio"=economic development plans, the overall environmental strategy and the land use plans. 



Besides taking environmental, socio"=economic parameters into consideration, land use planning must involve different stakeholders who are affected by changes in land use. In fact, human resource in LUP and management in local areas has been weak in many aspects such as the number of personnel staffs and human capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to have a tool to support policy makers and planners in developing, appraising, and selecting planning scenarios, which collaborates different social, economic, and environmental development dimensions in order to gain sustainable development goals.



To address this problem, a Decision Support System (DSS) has been developed that interface with LUP tools. The research evaluates the options for representing the LUP problem within a DSS framework and explores the potential of applying DSS to multi"=objective LUP.  



The study has provided the foundation to design and build decision"=making support systems in LUP for agricultural production in the area within district level. The research covers the important topics including the components of the decision"=making support system, database design of land use on the basis of integrated spatial data and GIS data attributes such as horticultural formula, cost, and profit, and modules of computer programme integrated into decision support system for LUP and agricultural production.
