Despite the importance of the public participation process, there are methods lacking to support the participation. Web-based technologies have been developed to overcome above the obstacles. Web 2.0 resolves the problems, which allows people to share their opinions. Although the Web 2.0 technology allows users to participate in the planning process easily, the web-based Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) requires another tool to collect and manage user's opinions. The opinions would be submitted in different formats. For example, it is reported by using images and movies or text formats. However, the PPGIS should produce collective and overall summarized information from the public input data in order to support decision makers. Therefore, the purposes of this research are to develop 1) a spatial data warehouse using ArcIMS and .NET Application based on ArcServer, 2) Easy-to-use Web environment using AJAX, and 3) XML-based tools to organize and reclassify various formatted opinions in order to efficiently analyze the data
