SIRO-PLAN and LUPLAN: an Australian approach to land-use planning. 2. The LUPLAN land-use planning package

Application of a vision in the Lake District of Salzburg

“…While, e.g., Ive and Cocks [91], Fischer and Makowski [92], Suhaedi et al [93] and Lu et al [94] applied an interactive multiple-goal linear programming method (IMGLP) for land use planning purposes. De Wit et al [95] did so with the analysis of agricultural development policies.…”

Systematic regional planning for multiple objective natural resource management

“…Many studies into systematic land use planning for natural resource management and conservation (Ive and Cocks, 1983;Rothley, 1999;Recatala et al, 2000;Hajkowicz et al, 2005;Hill et al, 2005), as well as the systematic approaches to agricultural resource planning (Hayashi, 2000), have benefited from quantitative methods originating in the operations research and decision theory disciplines. This study contributes to this literature by incorporating spatial optimisation into a decision analysis framework for the specific task of integrated planning for natural resource management.…”

Systematizing the production of environmental plans: an Australian example

“…A general purpose program, LUPLAN (Ive and Cocks 1983), was rewritten in COBOL for this application and provided with the 18 land uses, the policy set, and the data. With the aid of this program it was possible to incorporate the changes to the weights (and, if necessary, the policies and their ratings) and obtain a new plan with a turnaround time of two days; the evaluation of each plan by the planning team and the shire planning committee took longer than two days and there was no advantage in running the program on a faster machine.…”
