Systemic Analysis of Urban Water Supply and Growth Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Systems techniques offer civil engineers new tools for the analysis and synthesis of systemic issues, and they could be used more effectively in the urban growth and infrastructure arena. This paper discusses three versions ... -
Multijurisdictional Project Evaluation in Chattanooga Urban Area
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The purpose of this paper is to develop an analytically objective, quantitative method for use in prioritizing publicly funded transportation improvement projects. Traditionally, the decision-making process for evaluating ... -
Environmental Assessment of a Site for Civil Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The current environmental state of the area proposed for building a hotel complex is described. The natural and anthropogenic factors that are of significance for designing are considered. A set of 10 maps for the territory ... -
Urban Knowledge Parks and Economic and Social Development Strategies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Urban university-industry parks or, more generally, urban knowledge parks, represent a new and powerful instrument of urban economic and social development that can profoundly transform urban areas. By combining in a dense ... -
Integrating Drainage, Water Quality, Wetlands, and Habitat in a Planned Community Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper describes the planning, design, and construction of multiuse drainage facilities for the Rock Creek development, a planned residential community in the town of Superior, located between Denver and Boulder, ... -
Analysis of Trends Underlying Urban/Regional Impacts of Traffic Growth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)National and state data verify that the growth of highway vehicle traffic exhibits self-limiting characteristics (travel and population growth rates are becoming more and more similar due to saturation of the automotive ... -
Comprehensive Evaluation Method on Earthquake Damage Using Fuzzy Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Recent earthquakes have caused much damage to newly developed urban areas in various new patterns. Also, the patterns of earthquakes' influences on citizens and society have been changing rapidly. The methods for disaster ... -
Consensus Building Model to Select CASIS in Small Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper examines: (1) The automated mapping/facilities management and geographic information system (AM/FM/GIS), which are called computer-assisted spatial information systems (CASIS) in this paper, software selection ... -
Urban Regeneration Using Local Resources: Cost-Benefit Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Geographic areas within many cities are ripe for rehabilitation throughout the nation, but revitalization must be preceded by substantial front-end public expenditures. Because these front-end expenditures, more and more, ... -
Growth Management Techniques in City of Carlsbad
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This paper presents the growth management techniques in the City of Carlsbad, which has received local, state, and national honors for outstanding planning through its Growth Management Program. This unique program continues ... -
Integrated Planning Information Systems: Disaster Planning Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This research contributes to the theoretical basis for design of integrated planning information systems. The research provides a framework for integrating relevant knowledge, theory, methods, and technology. The requirements ... -
Role of Local Infrastructure Policies and Economic Development Incentives in Metropolitan Interjurisdictional Cooperation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This paper analyzes infrastructure development policies and economic development incentives used by the Indianapolis region's largest cities and the counties surrounding Marion County. These two policies create the ... -
Solid-Waste–Disposal Site Location
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This note addresses several issues raised in a 1994 paper by Ramu and Kennedy. Solid-waste–disposal siting is a complex process that must take into consideration a varying range of social, political, and environmental ... -
Determination of Charge Levels for Solid-Waste Generator-Pay Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Many North American municipalities are considering the introduction of a generator-pay system for municipal solid-waste–management services. In this technical note, a methodology is developed for the determination of charge ... -
Engineering Overview of Hurricane Andrew in South Florida
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)On August 24, 1992 Hurricane Andrew became the first major hurricane to attack south Florida in 57 years. Although adequate warnings were given as the storm approached, after the hurricane had passed, it was found that no ... -
Soft-Systems Methodology as Learning and Management Tool
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)It has long been recognized that urban systems are a subset of human activity systems, where decision making entails dealing not only with planning and engineering elements but also with political and social entities. The ... -
Analytical Framework for Waste-Facility Siting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Waste-facility siting processes are complex because they involve four sets of causal elements and relationships: (1) Facility need, design, and operation cause facility effects by interacting with site, environmental, and ... -
Demand for Rental Housing in Korea with Some Estimation Issues
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The purpose of this study is to estimate the determinants of rental-housing demand for three types of cities in Korea. The study focuses on the statistical estimation issues encountered in calibrating rental-housing demand: ... -
Global Environment and Continuing Education for Engineer-Planners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The nature and significance of global environmental problems indicate that civil engineers are likely to be called on to assume an increasingly important role in solving these problems. The solutions to many will require ... -
Heuristic Algorithm to Locate Solid‐Waste Disposal Site
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Choosing a site for disposal of solid waste is a difficult problem for many cities. Recent interest in public facilities has led to the development of several modeling approaches in facilities location. A common planning ...
