Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the problems of the possibility of the regional development of the Kitakami Area that is the underdeveloped area in Japan. We built a regional development planning system model that has two essential models. One is a macroscopic mathematical programming model and another is a microscopic location allocation simulation model. By policy simulation using the model, we got alternative development plans for the Kitakami Area. Moreover, we are going to proceed the culture development problem of that area.
