Planning support systems and planning across scales: Comparing scenarios using multiple regional delineations and projections
Planning support systems often employ urban models that simulate and evaluate impacts of plans. Their application to plan making is however, challenging when issues transcend local jurisdictions, and model assumptions are contested by the stakeholders. Neglecting the role of such specifications, especially when they are important and uncertain, can diminish the efficacy of plans. In this paper,...
متن کاملTrading across borders
The cost of living is high in Juba, the capital of the world’s youngest nation, the Republic of South Sudan.1 Decades of conflict have wiped out basic infrastructure and destroyed what production capacity it once had. So most goods—including food, basic inputs and construction materials—must be imported. That can be costly and slow. An entrepreneur in Juba would have to spend $9,429 to import a...
متن کاملTrust across borders
Received: 17 October 2005 Accepted: 17 October 2005 Online publication date: 15 December 2005 Abstract We make the case for fresh approaches to examine the role of trust in international collaborations, based on the idea that not only do the levels of trust differ across international borders but also both the nature of trust and the institutional and cultural support for trust can vary across ...
متن کاملOptwastewater: a Computer Program for Regional Wastewater System Planning
OptWastewater, an easy-to-use computer program developed for regional wastewater system planning, is presented in this article. The regional planning of wastewater systems requires both the drainage of the wastewater generated by the population centers of a region and the meeting of the quality standards defined for the river. OptWastewater is designed to be a decision-aid tool. It incorporates...
متن کاملAn Efficient Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Regional Wastewater System Planning
At present, most wastewater systems are local, i.e., each city has its own system. However, in many cases, they could be better, both from the economic and the environmental viewpoints, if they were regional. The search for the best regional wastewater systems can only be effective if it is made through an optimization model. In this article, we report a study made to develop an efficient simul...
