In this paper we describe and exemplify the embedment of a Geographical Information System (GIS) platform in a decision support tool previously developed for bicriteria location problems. When the facilities to be located have environmental effects, they usually depend on different factors like the altitude and the morphology of the potential locations, the winds, the temperature, the humidity, etc., most of which can be more easily evaluated with a GIS. Given that Geographical Information Systems can be used to manipulate different kind of data from various sources, they can be a significant aid to obtain and manage information quite useful in location problems, particularly if they involve the installation of facilities with environmental effects.
