CARP: COMPUTER AIDED REGIONAL PLANNING

Computer graphics often lies at the heart of computer aided design systems. The ease in which large amounts of information can be visualized using graphical display techniques makes computer graphics a powerful tool in a whole range of design activities. An application of interactive computer graphic techniques in the area of regional planning is presented. The spatial and temporal nature of regional planning results in large data bases which, to be effectively used, must be easily constructed, accessed and interpreted by regional planners. Traditionally, manual graphical display techniques have been used and as such are expensive and often lead to only a few planning options being fully presented. (Author/TRRL)
