West Lake: The Creation of Fort Lauderdale's Central Park
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper discusses the permitting and acquisition processes associated with a major land‐use decision, which occurred throughout the 1980s in southeast Broward County, Florida. The paper discusses the history of private ... -
Local Government and Public Adaptation to Sea‐Level Rise
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Global warming could result in a rise in global mean sea level of 9–29 cm between 1990 and 2030. By the end of the 21st century, global mean sea level could stand 30–110 cm higher than in 1990. Those projections suggest ... -
Choice of Rental Housing in Korean Market: Alternative Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This study proposes an alternative Korean rental housing choice model, in which households choose their dwelling units using hierarchical logit analysis. The decision is viewed as a partial sequence process, beginning with ... -
Improved Distance Estimation Method for Location Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Use of Euclidean or rectilinear estimates of travel distance between pairs of points for location modeling can be inaccurate in a city with major barriers to travel. Euclidean distances are consistently lower than the ... -
Optimization/Simulation Modeling for Waste Management Capacity Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A dynamic programming model is presented for determining the optimal capacity expansion patterns for waste‐to‐energy and landfill facilities over time. A capacity planning methodology incorporating both the dynamic programming ... -
Multizonal Model of Industrial Activities Based on Journey‐Time Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A large‐scale regional‐simulation model constructed to forecast industrial activities in disaggregated regions is described. Since the disaggregated subregions (zones) are very close geographically, mutual influences among ... -
Environmental Impact Assessments for Hazardous‐Waste Landfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Environmental impact considerations must be included in the planning and design of new hazardous‐waste landfills. Such considerations should address the potential for surface and ground‐water pollution along with changes ... -
Sufficiency of Infrastructure Capacity for Infill Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Infill development is often viewed as more desirable than development located beyond the urban perimeter, because infrastructure is already in place. However, the strength of that argument rests on the implicit assumption ... -
Expert Systems in Municipal Solid Waste Management Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Sound municipal solid waste management planning is an integral part of environmental protection. The cost of disposing of municipal solid wastes has risen quickly, as landfills approach capacity, and stronger environmental ... -
Factors Affecting Automobile Shopping Trip Destinations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Central business districts in many North American cities have been losing shoppers to suburban shopping centers that have developed over the past few decades. One of the major factors affecting this loss is a rise in ... -
Wastewater Planning and Administration Concerns along Southeastern U.S. Coast
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A survey of 166 southeastern U.S. coastal jurisdictions reveals numerous wastewater planning and administration problems in that region. Findings may not be unique to southeastern coastal systems. The survey finds that a ... -
Decision‐Support Methodology for Planning and Evaluating Public‐Private Partnerships
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Governments at all levels have increasingly turned to public‐private partnerships (PPP) as a source of alternative financing for needed public facilities, in turn providing private developers with new markets on government ... -
Optimization in Residential Land Subdivision
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)In view of soaring construction costs and land prices, cost‐effective design is essential to provide affordable housing for low‐income families. New settlement projects that provide housing can be considered as housing‐development ... -
Private Sector Provision of Transit Services: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Increasing attention on the privatization of transportation services has resulted in the identification of alternative models of service delivery. In this paper, five options for providing bus service in downtown Atlanta ... -
Incinerator Impacts on Residential Property Sales: Beyond Price Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Municipal waste incinerators are commonly believed to affect residential property sales. In cases where property sales prices are not affected, sales of affected properties may increase because impact‐sensitive households ... -
Impact Fee Program for Fulton County, Georgia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Impact fees are being used by an increasing number of growing local governments across the United States. Impact fees shift the burden of paying for new public facilities away from the community at large and onto new ... -
Permitting of Hazardous Waste Management Facilities in California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The siting and operation of hazardous waste management facilities require permits from federal, state, and local agencies. These include permits for land use, water, and air discharges and facility operation. Because of ... -
Impact Analyses of Construction of Kansai International Airport
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Socioeconomic impacts of construction of the Kansai International Airport of Japan are investigated for not only the whole Kansai region but also for the airport peripheral districts. The airport is being constructed on ... -
Efficient Land Allocation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Many theoretical and operational methods have been developed to identify optimal land‐use allocation strategies. In general, it is possible to classify these models into single land‐use allocation (SLUA) and multiple ... -
Waste Facility Impacts on Residential Property Values
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Property‐value guarantees (PVGs) by the proponent of a waste facility may be an effective tool to compensate nearby property owners if the facility impacts property values adversely. A review of the theory, and of 13 ...
