THE APPLICATION OF REGIONAL PLACE-SYSTEMS TO LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING

This abstract, which appears in a compendium of conference papers, describes the integration of environmental considerations into long-range transportation planning via regional place-systems. The paper described presents a case study of the Oklahoma statewide intermodal transportation plan, which uses recent geographic theory to integrate planning and human activity at varying scales. The theoretical framework is based on ecological and societal units of interaction called bioregions or place systems. Methods used to delineate regional place-systems in Oklahoma and their subsequent use in environmental analysis and planning are discussed in the paper (not in the abstract).
