Efficient Land Allocation
Publication: Journal of Urban Planning and Development
Volume 115, Issue 2
Abstract
Many theoretical and operational methods have been developed to identify optimal land‐use allocation strategies. In general, it is possible to classify these models into single land‐use allocation (SLUA) and multiple land‐use allocation (MLUA) problems. SLUA models are characterized by their combinatorial nature and consideration of conflicting objectives. This research is concerned with the development of a multiobjective SLUA model that extends current models and addresses several of their drawbacks.
