High performance genetic algorithm for land use planning

A genetic algorithm approach to multiobjective land use planning

This paper describes a class of spatial planning problems in which di,erent land uses have to be allocated across a geographical region, subject to a variety of constraints and con.icting management objectives. A goal programming/reference point approach to the problem is formulated, which leads however to a di/cult nonlinear combinatorial optimization problem. A special purpose genetic algorit...

Compactness for Regionalization and its Application in Land-Use Planning

Comparison of Spatial Compactness Evaluation Methods for Simple Genetic Algorithm Based Land Use Planning Optimization Problem

As one of the most important objectives for land use planning towards sustainability, the compactness could not only decrease threat to species survivability and the energy consumption, but also improve the accessibility of city and the social equity towards sustainability et al. Although there have existed several methods to evaluate compactness, the spatial autocorrelation methods have not be...

Application of Multi Objective land Allocation technique for land use Planning Approach Case study: Hamadan County

From the late  twentieth century, human kind has found out that if he wants to obtain cost efficiently and continuous utilization of lands, it is better to execute this in a planned framework named management plan. Such idea is became  as an introduction to monitor the land or utilization of lands. Monitoring lands means contribution of an optimized space for land utilization with realization o...
