CONCLUSIONSThe ma<strong>in</strong> goal of work had been done is theDevelopment of WEB-based gravity model.In this purpose it was necessary <strong>in</strong> obligatory wayto make studies about empirical analysis of <strong>in</strong>ternalmigration <strong>in</strong> Slovenia for next 10 years, a simultaneousequation model, gravity model of migration wasconstructed by University of Ljubljana and studiedand after represented <strong>in</strong>to WEB by this paper author.The types of systems be<strong>in</strong>g developed <strong>in</strong> researchbe<strong>in</strong>g undertaken by the author, hides the complexityof the gravity model beh<strong>in</strong>d friendly, easy to useGraphical User Interface while still reta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the ability tobuild up several scenarios or proposals based on particulardecision choices made by the <strong>in</strong>dividual.This paper has argued that provid<strong>in</strong>g open access toparticular decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g problems over the WEB willplay an <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g role <strong>in</strong> the way of future improvements.The practical development and test<strong>in</strong>g of thesesystems will help direct the future of publicparticipation <strong>in</strong> environmental decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g by us<strong>in</strong>gGIS and the gravity model on the WEB.To be able to participate <strong>in</strong> spatial decisions as a partof spatial management is one of the ma<strong>in</strong> duties described<strong>in</strong> White Paper on European Governance, which wasadopted by the European Commission <strong>in</strong> July 2001.White Paper on European Governance conta<strong>in</strong>s a seriesof recommendations on how to enhance democracy <strong>in</strong>Europe and boost the legitimacy of the <strong>in</strong>stitutions.The aim is to modernize European public action <strong>in</strong>order to <strong>in</strong>crease the accountability of Europeanexecutive bodies to the elected assemblies and open upthe Union's decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g procedures to allow citizensto participate <strong>in</strong> mak<strong>in</strong>g decisions, which concern them.As part of the process of prepar<strong>in</strong>g the White Paper onGovernance, a report (White Paper on EuropeanGovernance Report by Work<strong>in</strong>g Group 3b,Decentralization Better <strong>in</strong>volvement of national, regionaland local actors, 2001) produced by the Commission hadsubmitted recommendations on the best ways to achievegeographical decentralization of European governancewith a view to <strong>in</strong>crease the <strong>in</strong>volvement of national,regional and local players <strong>in</strong> design<strong>in</strong>g and apply<strong>in</strong>gEuropean standards and policies.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTAuthors are thankful Prof. Yuri Merkuryev,department of Modell<strong>in</strong>g and Simulation, Riga technicalUniversity that <strong>in</strong>itiated cooperation between twoUniversities and actively supported this research.
