In small municipalities, the public services are generally provided with small amount of financial resources. Thus the administrative and financial planning process should ensure to discuss the public policies which can satisfy public needs effectively and include them in the final plan. However, it is difficult to prioritize the administrative sectors. Also, it is hard for residents to respond the public needs survey which is designed to collect detailed needs of all sectors. This study aims to propose decision support system for planning administrative and financial planning. Specifically, the survey method and evaluation method which are useful for the respondents and planners are developed. Then we apply this system to small municipality named Sakaiminato City in Japan in order to demonstrate how it works.
