GOET is an integrated design and evaluation tool for land use and transport planning. This tool offers support in the design of combined strategies for spatial developments and traffic and transport policies. The tool is being designed by TNO Inro, and consists of a computer tool and an approach to design processes. This report covers the work in 1999 and 2000, wherein based on a number of design sessions an insight was gained into the basic GOET principles. GOET offers the possibility of simultaneously designing and evaluating spatial elements and transport networks in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. For every design step, evaluation criteria will be available in the areas of, for instance, mobility, land use and environment. The system is designed in such a way that it can be applied to various scale levels. When developing the system, the spatial (and transport) design process itself is the starting point. Characteristic for the spatial design process is the strongly iterative nature, the jumping to and from design and evaluation, between space and transport, as well as between different levels of scale.
