Abstract

In this paper, micro-DOT—a version of the familiar DOT program based on a Monte Carlo solution procedure—is introduced. It offers a way of exploiting the potential of microcomputers by offering a means of coping with large multicriteria optimisation problems relevant to practical planning. The technique is demonstrated by reference to a local planning case study based on “The Red Lane Action Area Plan†produced by Coventry City Council.
