A Geospatial Approach to Measure Social Benefits in Urban Land Use Optimization Problem

Different conflicting objectives are used in urban land use optimization problems. The maximization of social benefit is one the important Many researchers have different methods to measure benefits optimization. Studies show that there no established method allocation game. Against this background, study aims (a) identify appropriate indicators as a benefit, and (b) propose composite index Based on literature review expert opinion, identifies four benefit. These spatial compactness, compatibility, mix, evenness population distribution. Using weighted sum approach, proposes (SBI) allocation/optimization problems planning. suggests compactness most influential indicator SBI, but critical whose 11.60% value reduction from 0.5 alters decision choice. Finally, proposed was applied Rajshahi city Bangladesh. result potential using SBI problem. It expected will help planning be helpful for makers.
