This paper presents an interoperable web-based model able to interchange information amongst different stakeholders and to use the information as a means of promoting collaborative activities to integrate rural tourism buildings into a landscape with a case study, Hervás (Spain). Preliminary results from a continuing research are explained with a spatial methodology for selecting the suitable locations of rural buildings, coupling multi-criteria evaluations (MCE) into a web framework. The aim of this methodology is to classify four evaluation criteria and then is to show a final composite suitability map based on the four intermediate maps. The model deals with three types of information: a general overview page; a multi-criteria spatial decision-supporting page; and, a knowledge sharing map page. Using the proposed model, the regional spatial planning is intended to discuss different perceptions of building integration with the surroundings from various decision alternatives and to elucidate this model’s contribution.
