<br/><br/> This paper describes an interactive Web-based survey tool that was developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago to advance a community planning process. The team used a process taken from the work of Jack Nasar (1998) that involves surveying residents to creat an "evaluative image" of the community that could guide future design and development. While Nasar`s original method used a phone survey. UIC researchers developed a Web site through which participants interacted with a map that was linked through a server to a GIS program. This project builds upon an earlier version of the survey by increasing the complexity nd the coverage area of the interactive map
