Developing the Automated Zoning Procedure to Reconcile Incompatible Zoning Systems

This paper concerns the problem of matching incompatible zonal geographies, for example in the context of comparing census outputs over time. The automated zoning procedure (AZP) proposed by Openshaw (1977) is reviewed, and a population stress statistic proposed which may be used in an AZP algorithm in order to maximise the match between two zonal geographies. An implementation of this approach...

Extending the automated zoning procedure to reconcile incompatible zoning systems

This paper concerns the problem of matching incompatible zonal geographies, for example in the context of comparing census outputs over time. The automated zoning procedure (AZP) proposed by Openshaw (1977) is reviewed and extended to permit its application to the intersection of two zonal systems. A population stress statistic is proposed which may be used in the extended AZP algorithm in orde...

Land Use and Zoning—Zoning Amendments: The Effect of Maryland’s Change or Mistake Rule on the Fairly Debatable Standard—Who’s Got the Presumptions?

Nonsymmetrical Perceptaul Zoning

In this paper we present an alternative strategy to define zoning for handwriting recog19 nition, which is based on nonsymmetrical perceptual zoning. The idea is to extract some knowledge from the confusion matrices in order to make the zoning process less 21 empirical. The feature set considered in this work is based on concavities/convexities deficiencies, which are obtained by labeling the b...

Is Zoning Obsolete?

most formidable of all competitors. Japanese companies do not plan or design for their local market but rather for the larger world markets. They realize that they must export to survive. Japan has even developed an expertise in the exporting of entire plants, amortized by the revenues generated in the marketing of products to mature economies. Currently, a Japanese builder is constructing a pe...
