    1. INTRODUCTIONAn industrial engineering activity that is growing in relevance and

    receiving due attention in the literature is that of identifying land areassuitable for future industrial use. As cities expand and multiply, thevarious activities that reflect the social-economic makeup of a community(e.g., industrial, commercial, residential, agricultural, etc.) competewith each other for use of the same fixed resource--land. It then becomesnecessary and meaningful to consider the science and art (e.g., economicand behavioral aspects) of land use forecasting.

    Land use forecasting has long been a planning activity of interest tothe various Federal and State agencies, particularly those with mandatesfor the development of land and water projects. Certainly this is the caseat the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where land use forecasting has longbeen applied to the evaluation of economic benefits resulting from engi-neering measures and associated land uses. Over the last 50 years a numberof research efforts have been funded by the Corps relating to the develop-ment of analytical land use methodologies and, in some cases, the design ofcomputer-based forecasting models.

    .1The purpose of this paper, bb*, is to review briefly the progressmade in the analytical and behavioral development of land use forecasting

    -" models, to point to the modeling functions of special relevance to

    industrial land uses, and describe a new interactive computer model beingdeveloped at the Institute for Water Resources (IWR) of the U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers.

    2. BACKGROUNDA substantial number of efforts to develop land use forecasting models

    have been undertaken over the last 30 years. This section compiles a listof over 50 models created during that time period that cover a wide rangeof forecasting activities, and that represent the extent of the modelingeffort in the private and public sectors.

    The beginnings of land use forecasting in the United States are to befound in the schools of city planning created at Harvard University in1929, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1931.These two schools spearheaded the tremendous development that resultedthereafter. Kilbridge et al.[1] presents a classification of 20 urbanplanning models by land use (e.g., industrial, commercial, residential,agricultural, etc.), function (e.g., projection, allocation, and deriva-tion), theory (e.g., behavioral, gravity, trend, and growth index), andmethod (e.g., regression, input-output, markov process, linear programming,and simulation) that span the time period 1959-1967. Table 1 extends andupdates that classification by identifying 28 other models that are consid-ered most significant and that cover the time period (1962-1979). As Table1 reveals, these models offer a wide range of forecasting capabilities, usediverse analytical and behavioral approaches, and have been applied to agood number of cities in the U.S. Also, as the reader can observe, indus-trial land use forecasting is well integrated and represented in many ofthese models (see refs. 2 through 29 and 38).

    The remainder of this section reviews some of the previous V rk thatled to the development of the Alternative Land Use Forecasting (ALUF) modelof the Institute for Water Resources, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

    Land Use Forecasting at the Corps of Engineers. Essential to the taskof project development and evaluation is the determination of "withproject" and "without project" future economic conditions. The calculationof these economic benefits has provided, in fact, the motivation for muchof the effort on land use forecasting at the Corps. But substantial andcontinuous as this effort has been over the last decade, the need stillexists to develop a computer package that offers a satisfactory balance ofsound methodological framework, data base and computer time requirements.Some of the methodologies proposed in the past, although analyticallycorrect and based on sound methodological frameworks, were inadequate forsubsequent implementation for several reasons. At times the theoreticaldevelopment was valid and well researched, but the computer model wasincomplete. More frequent was the case, however, where the proposed

    computer model required vast amounts of input data, the exogeneousparameters themselves were difficult to estimate (e.g., spatial population

    distributions) or the amount of time required to apply the model would havebeen unreasonably large (in the order of months).

    An alternative course of action is delineated here. Essentially, someof the computer subroutines in program RIA are combined with an economicdata bank file and a search procedure to allocate land uses. Optimal land

    allocations are not sought; instead, "near optimal," feasible land alloca-tions are desired.

    3. ALTERNATIVE LAND USE FORECASTING (ALUF) PROGRAMThe development of a grid cell data file requires that each variable

    map be individually encoded and geographically registered to a common baseand stored, along with data variables in the data bank, on a computer stor-age device.

    The IWR package consists of two computer programs which are used inconnection with a grid cell spatial data base as shown in Figure 1. Themain program, Alternative Land Use Forecasting (ALUF) does the actualallocation of future land uses to specific grid cells. The Existing LandUse Analysis Program (ELUA) is provided to help identify significant landuse location factors for the allocation process based on the relationshipbetween land use locations and other data available in the grid cell databank.

    The final program output is a new data variable written into the database file for each grid cell, indicating projected future land use. Theprograms are written in FORTRAN IV for the CDC 6600/7600 series computers.

    The ALUF program incorporates the HEC RIA Attractiveness modelingprogram and RIA Distance Determination package. These were adapted for usein this process so that land use locator scores can be developed accordingto user specified criteria, as well as location criteria derived from thestatistical findings.

    The kinds of data variables commonly used as a basis for allocatingfuture land use include:

    A. Access (Distance)1. Transportation2. Central Business Districts or Regional Centers3. Dependent Activities

    B. Proximity to Compatible Land UsesC. Physical Land Attributes (Developability)

    1. Slope2. Drainage3. Type of Cover4. Soils

    4. CALCULATION OF THE ATTRACTIVENESS INDICESTo demonstrate the computation of the raw attractiveness indices as

    performed in the computer program ALUF, consider the land use grid shown inFigure 2. Purposely, the grid is small and contains only 27 cells, so asto render the exercise workable (typically grid representatives of regionsof interest may require 5,000-50,000 cells).

    Listed in Figure 2 is the legend used to represent the various landuses. e.g., (1) natural vegetation, (2) developed open space, (3) low den-sity residential, etc. In this manner, we can see that grid cell (i,j) =(1,4) is currently allocated to low density residential. A railroad tracktraverses the grid network, as shown.

    As program ALUF is structured currently, a matrix arrangement isavailable to the analyst to identify the variables (topographic) of inter-est, as shown in Table 2. The analyst-user then is required to: (1) de-sgnate topographic variables, (2) assign relative weights to thevariables, and (3) specify a shading intensity for each value of eachdesignated variable. A matrix must be filled in for each land use (e.g.,activity) being considered. For illustrative purposes, Table 2 alone isshown with the matrix values for industrial use.

    We continue our illustrative computation of the attractiveness indicesfor industrial use with the specification of two variables only: (1) dis-tance to Seaboard Railroad (variable 023), and slope (variable #8). Infor-mation on these two variables must be built into the data bank file priorto running the program. For our example, this information would appear asshown in Figures 3 and 4. With reference to location (ij) a (1,4), wenotice that the slope value of 2 corresponds to a "2 to 6 percent slope"(Table 5, variable 8, Appendix), and the distance to the railroad tracks isthree cell units. The actual computation of the raw Attractiveness Indexproceeds as follows:

    Distance to R.R. (1) x (2) : 2Slope z 2 (8) x ) 8

    Shading IntensityRelative WeightAttractiveness

    In a similar manner, indices (also called scores) for the remaining cellsare computed in Table 3 and again shown in Figure 5.

    There remains the matter of using the attractiveness scores to allo-

    cate a land use to each grid cell. Currently, the program assigns landuses according to the priority identified by the analyst in the Data Deck;

    that is, if the desired priority is industrial, followed by high densityresidential, low density residential, commercial, etc., then the analystphysically places data cards for industrial at the top of the "Data Deck,"followed by data cards for high density residential, and so on. In thatmanner, given a request for 13 cells, say, for industrial, the programassigns a land use (Legend Code 7) to the 13 cells that exhibit the highestindustrial attractiveness score. A similar allocation rationale is thenused for high density residential, and so on down the priority list. Forour example then, the cells allocated to industrial use are shown In Figure6. Note that for cell(6,5) there corresponds a slope value of 4 (i.e., 10

    to 15 percent grading) and that Table 3 shows a shading intensity of zero;the slope variable, then, contributes a value of zero to the attractivenessscore, e.g. (0)(1.0) = 0.0. Cell(7,4), on the other hand, has a slopevalue 0.0 (i.e., water body) and since an intensity value of -1 has beenassigned to it, the cell is excluded from industrial use.

    5. AN ILLUSTRATIVE COMPUTER APPLICATION: TRAIL CREEK PILOT STUDYNow that the computation of the raw attractiveness scores has been

    illustrated in a step-by-step manner, the application of the procedure to areal-world situation is demonstrated using computer program ALUF. Theregion of interest is the Trail Creek study area shown in Figure 7, and itexhibits variety and complexity of roads, railroad track, river lengths,urban center nearby, etc. Current land use of this area is as shown inFigure 7, with adopted dimensions for each rectangular cell of 200 and333.3 feet.

    The interactive computer mode of the program was then used to fill inthe attractiveness matrices. This time it is noted that the exercise wasextended beyon 'he industrial land use stated requirement to includeresidential and commercial. The number of cells required for each use was900, 800 and 200, respectively.

    Finally, shown in Figure 8 is the computer printout of the computedfuture land use pattern. Only the left half of the pattern is used, as theother half would be of a similar nature. The actual computer printout doesyield the two halves, however. Let us now compare existing and future landuse of a particular cell, say cell(35,55). It is observed that Figure 7identifies the current use as being agricultural (i.e. code number 6), andnow the future use is projected to be industrial (i.e. code number 7), asgiven in Figure 8.

    6. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSThis paper discusses the architecture and use of a new land use fore-

    casting model labeled ALUF, Alternative Land Use Forecasting. The modelmakes use of information on current land uses, topographic characteristics,and preferences elicited from the planners to forecast future land uses.

    In the process, it calculates the economic benefits to be derived from aproposed engineering measure or zoning policy. The model is currentlyoperational and it is available to Corps personnel and general city plan-ners involved in project development and evaluation. Also, it is hopedthat industrial engineering practitioners will find it useful in theirdialogue with city planners as new industrial enterprises in growing commu-nities are discussed.
