Abstract: | A computerized land evaluation was employed for a speedy land evaluation to locate a new industrial-urban development site
in Iran under a multiple-land-use setting. A special-purpose programming language of modeling was generated to facilitate
computer application. In doing so, some types of models were initially tested. Finally, an optimization model was decided
on for this purpose, because it provided the best result. Four optimization models using linear programming were developed
for evaluating the study area (south of Isfahan) involving agriculture, soil conservation, outdoor recreation, and industrial-urban
development. Then, the models were combined to produce a multiple-use optimization model (MOM) for land-use classification
and planning of the area. In applying the MOM model, a computerized map was produced to indicate the optimum capability of
the area for industrial-urban development, agriculture, soil conservation, and outdoor recreation. The employed methodology
provided a quick and meaningful result for the study area, which has a low biological productivity. |
