AN OPTIMIZATION MODEL FOR THE SPATIAL ORGANISATION OF REGIONAL SYSTEMS

Ryszard Domański

Papers in Regional Science, 1987, vol. 61, issue 1, 105-114

Abstract: ABSTRACT The model optimizes three subsystems making up the spatial organisation, that is urban settlements, transportation roads, and agricultural areas. In geometric terms, spatial organisation is a structure formed by points, lines and surfaces. A characteristic feature of this model is that it optimizes the three subsystems jointly and simultaneously. Bid rents represent the utility of places and transportation costs the accessibility to the rest of spatial system. Constraints imposed on objective function limit the hard and fast play of economic forces and ensure the survival of basic spatial organisation. A broad margin has been left, however, for spatial shifts to improve the effectiveness of the system.
