Sweden is a sparsely populated country. Normally market forces would regulate the number and location of both public and commercial services as schools, medical care, grocery stores and pharmacies. In sparsely populated areas these forces does not work. The Swedish government has realized this and gives economical support to some services in order to maintain or in some cases expand the service level. The aim with this grants is to provide conditions for living, working and contribute to economic growth in these in remote areas. To be as effective as possible a decision making system has been developed to support the administrators of the grant. The system allows the administrators to monitor the current situation, update changes in the service structure and simulate fictive scenarios. The system is built on an open source platform and is available through the internet to authorized administrators on the regional level of the Swedish administration. As platform for the system the following open source projects and formats are used GeoExt, Ext JS, Openlayers, Mapfish, Pylons, GEOAlchemy, Mapserver, PostGIS, GeoJSON.
