A LAND USE/TRANSPORTATION OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURE

An interactive procedure for land-use planning is described, in the original version of which the endogenous variables (those output from the procedure) were population and employment for each zone of a region. Among the exogenous variables (those input to the procedure), were the interzonal time distances. The technique was then extended by including the interzonal time distances in the set of endogenous variables. The output not only recommended zonal population and employment, but also recommended interzonal time distances. A 2-zone example is used to illustrate the procedure. The planning exercise undertaken by the Teeside Survey Plan is used to demonstrate the procedure in a more realistic situation - a 14 zone region.
