Inclusionary zoning (IZ) is an affordable housing tool that links the production of affordable housing to the production of market-rate housing. IZ policies either require or encourage new residential developments to make a certain percentage of the housing units affordable to lowor moderateincome residents. In exchange, many IZ programs provide cost offsets to developers, such as density bonus...

1. INTRODUCTION The present study advocates a strategy aimed at implementing the principles of sustainable development through operational tools to be used in programs for environmental conservation. To be more precise, I lay out a proposal of participatory zoning that is innovative in two main respects: i) it is based on an assessment of the territorial setup and the social values of the peopl...

Cursive script has many ambiguities. Feature extraction, by locating some specific characteristics of a writing sample in isolation or in combination with other features, can minimise the effect of these ambiguities. There are many features that can be extracted from any given sample. Information about the expected vertical letter position within the word, the zoning information, is envisaged t...

For applications with large data sets, e.g., video servers, magnetic disks have established themselves as the mass storage device of choice. A technique to increase the storage capacity of disks is zoning. A side-eeect of zoning is that it introduces a disk drive with variable transfer rates. This chapter describes techniques to support a continuous display of constant-bit rate video and audio ...

Zoning is widely used for obtaining topological features of handwritten characters. In this paper we have modified the zoning criteria using fuzzy boundary of individual zones keeping the point in mind that writing style of different persons may shift the structural pattern of the character from one zone to the adjacent zone. The zone-wise normalized distance of individual black pixel along wit...

This paper describes the development and applications of a computational tool, referred to as the Multi-Objective Zoning and AggRegation Tool (MOZART), for devising optimal zoning systems. MOZART aims to account for a diverse range of criteria that may arise in customising zones to suit different contexts. This flexibility is achieved by treating the problem of zone design as a problem of parti...

In most transport planning studies one of the first steps is the definition of a zoning scheme with which the study area is divided and the corresponding space is disaggregated. There are no clear rules on how to carry out this operation in an optimal way, and the dominating practice is to do it based on experience, trying to mix a certain degree of within-zone homogeneity and the convenience o...

this paper presents a new methodology for the zoning of littoral sand barriers on the basis oftheir groundwater dynamic responses to the local mean water level (mwl) climate. the method is based onthe comparison of the characteristic scales of the horizontal drainage and recharge processes. using theboussinesq equation and basic hydro-geomorphological parameters, this methodology identifies the...
