摘要：This paper presents the prototype development of an integrated online GIS-enabled virtual public meeting space (GeoVPMS) systemusing open source technologies that are still in development and early stage of testing. The prototype system is based on a GeoVPMSconceptual framework (Li et al. 2007) and features the integration of various types of open source based solutions and open map servicesto provide web-based tools to support public participation in municipal planning processes. Although the broader project objectives are todevelop a GeoVPMS that supports both asynchronous and synchronous participations, this paper focuses more on tools that supportasynchronous participation, meaning that the public can participate in any time from any locations at their own comfort. The softwareimplementation of the prototype focused on four important aspects of public participation, namely notification, information access,participation and feedback. The prototype demonstrates these functions
