The aim of this paper is the creation of an integrated and free-access web platform for parcel irrigation water management on a large spatial scale (Water District of Crete, in Greece) in order to: a) accurately determine the irrigation needs of the main crops for Crete such as olives, citrus, avocados and vineyards, b) design strategies, for optimal adaptation of the agricultural sector in the context of climate change, and c) incorporate the dynamic integration of the above information through the creation of a digital platform.

Findings will help urban planners and researchers to employ these tools for professional practice, and assist software developers to identify opportunities for software development in urban research.
The scenario planning, public participation, and evaluation phases of the planning process present many untapped opportunities for open source software development. Sixty percent of tools are only accessible through an application programming interface, while 43% rely on Python for development. Tools focusing on street networks and geographic spatial analysis are the mainstay of current implementation. In the process, we formalise and describe the urban planning process and find that the entire planning process can be conducted using open source software. We cover an additional set of 54 peripheral tools to support domains related to urban planning.
Our search documented 70 open source tools that support different stages of the urban planning process.
We provide an understanding of the state of the art concerning open source tools for urban planning from journal articles, software repositories, and social media. Recent discourse in the domain of planning support tools attribute poor take up to the lack of understanding on the landscape and functionality of available tools, and how tools can add value to the planning process. However, their overview is fragmented, and the uptake among planning professionals remains lacklustre.
