Abstract To determine whether the inclusion of spatial neighbourhood comparison factors in Preference Modelling allows spatial decision support systems (SDSSs) to better address spatial equity, we introduce Spatial Preference Modelling (SPM). To evaluate the effectiveness of this model in addressing equity, various standardisation functions in both Non-Spatial Preference Modelling and SPM are compared. The evaluation involves applying the model to a resource location-allocation problem for transport infrastructure in the Special Province of Yogyakarta in Indonesia. We apply Amartya Sens Capability Approach to dene opportunity to mobility as a non-income indicator. Using the extended Morans I interpretation for spatial equity, we evaluate the distribution output regarding, rst, the spatial distribution patterns of priority targeting for allocation (SPT) and, second, the effect of new distribution patterns after location-allocation (ELA). The Morans I index of the initial map and its comparison with six patterns for SPT as well as ELA consistently indicates that the SPM is more effective for addressing

spatial equity. We conclude that the inclusion of spatial neighbourhood comparison factors in Preference Modelling improves the capability of SDSS to address spatial equity. This study thus proposes a new formal method for SDSS with specic attention on resource location-allocation to address spatial equity.

1 Introduction
In 1968, the theory of social equity was developed as the third pillar of public administration in addition to economy and efciency (Frederickson 1990). Social equity concerns fair access to resources and livelihood....
