    This paper discusses a computer-aided network planning support system called PIGEON that has been developed primarily for advancing countries implementing the applicability to various types of networks and the supportability to the sensitivity analysis. For the implementation of the applicability, the customization by reflecting existing network facilities and their accompanying restrictive conditions into a design result is focused. A case study on the customization shows the effectiveness of the reflection. The procedures are given of the sensitivity analysis in order to examine and to evaluate the effect of the uncertain factors in network planning. In particular, a method called "network modification" is proposed for the sensitivity analysis for uncertain factors associated with a partial network. The network modification efficiently integrates network planner's judgments into a design result by the interactive method. In addition, this paper describes the importance of streamlining the data input and the evaluation of design results, showing the operating time required for each work phase in network planning.
