Abstract
The present paper aims at building a regional programming model under such constraints as pollution level, harmonized composition of population in a comunity, compatibility of industrial settings and so on. Thus we try to find the welfare oriented optimal regional development plan.
The procedure consists of the two phases. The first phase aims at excluding undesirable sites in the study area through technical, ecological, and sociological considerations. The second phase consists in assigning the optimal size and category of industries to each planning unit survived in the first phase test.
The model adopted in the second phase is an investment optimization model as a generalization of cost-benefit analysis and is described by linear programming model, i.e. the resident_??_ social welfare (represented by total income) should be maximized under the constraints of incompatibility of industries, air and water pollution levels and desirable distribution of generation in comunities.
The results of the computation shows that no feasible solutions exist as far as the actual pollutant emission coefficient and the actual environmental control level. Parametric programming procedure was, therefore, performed assuming various reduced levels of pollutant emission possibly realized through future technical innovation. Thus we the final results of the computations give a set of trade-off relations between resident' welfare and regional development plans.
