Spatial Location-Allocation Model for Multiple Center Villages
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The spatial location-allocation model of center villages (SLAMCV) was developed to locate multiple centers and allocate their demand area simultaneously on a network space of nodes and lines. A disutility index ( -
Performance of Single Internal Trip Purpose Methodology to Model Smaller Urban Area Traffic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Urban travel modeling techniques have not found widespread use in small urban communities because traditional forecasting models, designed for use in large urban cities, are very data intensive. In recent years, however, ... -
Planning Criteria for Automated People Movers: Defining the Issues
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)In light of projected population growth and losses of open land, there is a need for new kinds of compact development that is both environmentally attractive and uncongested. Requirements to meet this objective are outlined, ... -
Comparing Traffic-Noise Model Accuracy Using State-Specific Emission Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)In September 1999, the writers began a study for the Arizona Department of Transportation to develop Arizona-specific Reference Energy Mean Emission Levels. This study was conducted to determine if the noise emission ... -
Evaluating Pedestrian Connectivity for Suburban Sustainability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A crucial ingredient for achieving urban sustainability is reducing society's dependence on the automobile. Residents of suburban developments are often dependent on their cars for trips to destinations within the neighborhood ... -
Environmental Justice: Spatial Distribution of Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities in Los Angeles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Concern over possible inequities in the siting of noxious facilities leads us to study spatial patterns of distribution of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDs). Inasmuch as such patterns are ... -
Effect of Beltways on Metropolitan Economic Activity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)There is debate on the effect of beltways, also known as loop and perimeter highways, on metropolitan economic activity. This article contributes to that debate by evaluating the association between beltways and retail/service ... -
Parking Facilities in Urban Areas: Air and Noise Impacts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Parking problems in major urban centers are typically an accumulation of the effects of several factors, including short-sighted urban planning regulations, pricing distortions, ineffective enforcement, and vague transport ... -
How Park-and-Ride Schemes Can Be Successful in Eastern Asia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Road transport networks that exist within Eastern Asia are experiencing ever-increasing levels of demand due to rapid population growth within the region. This is especially so for interregional travel because of a continuous ... -
Measuring Affordability in Public Housing from Economic Principles: Case Study of Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Affordability is a dominant and controversial issue in housing policy all over the world. Hong Kong is no exception. In 1987, the government took a notable shift in its housing policy toward a more market-oriented system. ... -

Location of Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate Firms in Istanbul
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The interurban location of high-order service activities was investigated by many researchers during the 1980s, but few of these studies concentrated on the intermetropolitan location of high-order service activities (i.e., ... -
Using GIS in Emergency Management Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of a geographic information system (GIS) in emergency management efforts for disaster preparedness, mitigation, and response, and summarize an ongoing effort to build a ... -
Specification of Soil Volume and Irrigation Frequency for Urban Trees
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Typically, limitations in soil volume deprive urban trees of adequate water supplies. As a result, tree survival, health, and development can be adversely affected. Proper sizing of urban tree pits and containers can ... -
Can Wicked Problems Be Tackled through Abductive Inferencing?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)There is general agreement that the Rational Planning Model (RPM) used widely in the context of urban systems planning has problems coping with recalcitrant or “wicked” problems. This paper explores the use of pragmatic ... -
An Evaluative Tool for Solid Waste Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Computer-assisted decision making in the public policy arena has become more prevalent in recent years as policymakers have faced increasing demands for accountability. Numerous support tools have been presented in the ... -
Soil Bioengineering: Challenges for Planning and Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Soil bioengineering is a streambank stabilization method that uses living plants as the primary structural component. It is a promising technique for restoring urban streams, but many challenges remain. This article ... -
Reducing Financial Hazard Risk through Planning Intervention
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)During the early 1980s, many developers used savings-and-loan (S&L) institutions to underwrite their financial risks. The Economic Recovery Act, the centerpiece of President Ronald Reagan's economic recovery plan, exacerbated ... -
Development of Parking Demand Models in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper describes the parking demand models for private cars and goods vehicles developed as part of a parking demand study that was completed in Hong Kong in 1995. In the model, it is assumed that there is a linear and ...
