    • Commercial Uses of Land Around Urban Railway Stations in Greece 

      J. Tzouvadakis (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      This paper describes the results and conclusions of a research project on the development of commerce around electrical railway stations in Athens, Greece. The objective of the research is to reveal whether the stations ...
    • Growth Management in the City of San Diego: Planning the Future Now 

      Randi F. Coopersmith; Richard L. Miller; Christopher J. Morrow (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)
      The city of San Diego has historically embraced growth management as an important element of its planning programs. In the mid-1970s, the city of San Diego embarked on what would become a model growth-management program ...
    • Positive Influence of Impact‐Fee in Urban Planning and Development 

      Arthur C. Nelson; James E. Frank; James C. Nicholas (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      Policymakers seem to prefer that sellers of buildable land pay development impact fees in the form of lower land prices, or that builders pay those fees in the form of lower profits. Developers assert that home buyers will ...
    • Impact Fees: Practical Guide for Calculation and Implementation 

      Dennis H. Ross; Scott Ian Thorpe (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      The use of development impact fees (DIFs) to finance public facilities necessary to accommodate new growth is a concept that has gained acceptance in recent years. California and Florida are considered by many to be the ...
    • Multiple Subregion Allocation Models 

      Salah Benabdallah; Jeff R. Wright (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      The land‐allocation problem is one of selecting, from a finite number of candidate parcels, that set of parcels that best meets the needs of a specific land‐use objective. This research extends land‐allocation modeling ...
    • Elements of Effective State Land‐Use Planning Policy 

      Arthur C. Nelson (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      Many states are changing their view of the role of local‐government planning in achieving statewide interests in preserving the environment, economizing on capital facilities, and generally, in managing development patterns. ...
    • Comprehensive Regional Socioeconomic Simulation System 

      Gwan Kim; Pyong Sik Pak; Yutaka Suzuki (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      This paper describes a comprehensive regional socioeconomic simulation system by using a personal computer. The system is composed of an interactive macroframe model (KMF model), a multizonal socioeconomic simulation model ...
    • Shortest Path within Polygon and Best Path around or through Barriers 

      Yihua Xiong; Jerry B. Schneider (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      In many urban‐planning, geographic analysis, and engineering studies, a classical problem is finding the shortest paths within a bounded area, or the best path that goes around or through special regions, called barriers. ...
    • Estimating Functional Population for Facility Planning 

      Arthur C. Nelson; James C. Nicholas (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      In estimating the current and future demand for facilities, engineers and planners need to rationalize differences in facility demand by land‐use category. Using unweighted population and employment data to estimate facility ...
    • Integrating Facility Delivery through Spatial Information 

      Teresa M. Adams; Alan P. Vonderohe; Jeffrey S. Russell; James L. Clapp (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      A geographic information system (GIS) can aid the solution of engineering problems that involve spatial and nonspatial data components. The potential of GIS for urban planning and development applications has not been ...
    • Development and Redevelopment of Contaminated Property 

      James R. Janz; James R. Arnold; Richard H. Mays; Richard M. Shapiro (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      The problem of environmental contamination is a serious impediment to the development or redevelopment of real property. The cost of cleanup can easily render a proposed redevelopment project economically infeasible. This ...
    • Statistical Models to Predict Commercial‐ and Parking‐Space Occupancy 

      Erin McGuiness; Sue McNeil (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      This paper examines the use of simple analytical models to estimate quantitatively the demand for site‐specific commercial and parking space. The influence of locational and other site characteristics on demand is captured ...
    • Recycling Promotion Strategies: Statistical and Fuzzy‐Set Comparisons 

      Jess W. Everett; Timothy L. Jacobs; J. Jeffrey Peirce (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      This research evaluates 10 methods of promoting residential curbside recycling programs (RCRPs) using data from a survey of RCRPs in the United States. Statistical and fuzzy‐set methods are used to analyze the promotions ...
    • Impacts of Development and Infrastructure Financing 

      William B. Moore; Thomas Muller (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      The effects of growth generated by development impact a community in a number of ways. Increases in population and commercial activity place additional requirements on the infrastructure and service capabilities of a ...
    • Design for Successful Hillside Development 

      William A. Moser (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      Hillside development is a hot topic in Southern California. Many of the hillside projects developed in the past few years have been insensitive to the natural character of the terrain. The resulting public displeasure has ...
    • Transportation‐Demand Management for Quality Development 

      Edward A. Mierzejewski (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      In recent years, widespread traffic congestion has provided a new impetus to initiate transportation‐demand management (TDM) actions. Across the nation, dozens of grass‐roots transportation management associations (TMAs) ...
