Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the applicability of geometric programming to regional land-use planning models. The regional models are of the type where the criterion is maximum accessibility, and the model is constrained by population limits on each district. After a brief discussion of geometric programming, the relationship of total accessibility models to geometric programs is developed and a method of obtaining numerical solutions is presented. Several models are analyzed using the geometric programming approach, including a game theoretic model which is used to generate decentralized plans.
