Need for evaluative methodologies in land use, regional resource and waste management planning
The transfer of planning methodology from the research community to the practitioner very frequently takes the form of analytical and evaluative techniques and procedures. In the end, these become operational in the form of data acquisition, management and display systems, computational schemes that are codified in the form of manuals and handbooks, and computer simulation models. The complexity of the socioeconomic and physical processes that govern environmental resource and waste management have reinforced the need for computer assisted, scientifically sophisticated planning models that are fully operational, dependent on an attainable data base and accessible in terms of the resources normally available to practitioners of regional resource management, waste management, and land use planning. A variety of models and procedures that attempt to meet one or more of the needs of these practitioners are discussed.
