LAND USE PLANNING FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF OPTIMIZATION PROCESS

The purpose of this paper is to develop a method to make rational land use plans, based on computer aided data processing. First, concept of land use planning is defined from the viewpoint of optimization process in order to give logical consistency to land use planning process. Second, a methodology is proposed which can realize logically consistent land use planning based on the above mentioned concept of optimizing process. Then, a computer aided land use planning system is developed which is effective for not only city-wide land use planning such as land use zoning but also microscopic land use planning such as land readjustment.
