Abstract

ABSTRACT In the paper we present a logic‐based system that makes possible the comparison of the requirements of particular sectors (e.g. agriculture, industry, construction, mining, energy) and social requirements (e.g. living conditions, employment, education, culture) at the level of the territorial system. It is based on a hierarchical model of national, county and district level activities. Every level has its own goals and the problem is to find an acceptable solution for these goals. Its implementation depends upon a special extension of the logic‐based programming language PROLOG, known as TS‐PROLOG. The basic function of a territorial system can be viewed as the reproduction of social resources on an increasing scale. The task (the basic activity) of the system is the ‘production’ of the territorial conditions of living and of the way of life. During this process of production, the system takes up raw material, energy and information from its environment. The processes that take place in the system are determined by natural/human resources, social activities, markets of technical elements and technically utilized areas. The external and internal relations of the system are regulated by the market of transport activities.
