COMPLETE VALUE ANALYSIS: HIGHWAY BEAUTIFICATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

THE PROBLEM OF VALUES IS DISCUSSED FROM THE ASPECT OF A GOALS PROGRAMMING MODEL USING LINEAR EQUATIONS AND MATRIX ALGEBRA NOTATIONS. ONE FUNDAMENTAL PUBLIC GOAL IS TO PROVIDE FOR MAN A PLEASANT AND COMFORTABLE PUBLIC ENVIRONMENT. ENVIRONMENTAL BEAUTIFICATION IS DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF PRACTICAL ENGINEERING. FINANCE AND VALUES ARE DISCUSSED AND THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS MADE: (1) INCLUDE EXCELLENT LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS IN THE DECISION PROCESS, (2) THERE IS A GREAT DEAL TO BE LEARNED FROM PLAIN OLD COMMON SENSE AND POPULAR CONSENSUS, (3) ENGAGE IN A CONTINUING PROGRAM OF WELL-PLANNED RESEARCH, AND (4) CONSIDER THAT IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS BILLBOARDS MAY BE GOOD CONTRIBUTORS TO HIGHWAY BEAUTY.
