Abstract
The purpose of this research is to establish an appropriate program for the long/middle term planning of public activities. This planning should account for various constraints. The previous research attempted to obtain an appropriate solution by applying Genetic Algorithm (GA). However, in the method, the solution obtained may not be optimal due to the lack of diversity among individuals. In this study, an attempt is made to develop a decision support system of the optimal long/middle term planning by using Memetic Algorithm (MA). MA can obtain the solutions which satisfy all constraints by adopting the repair of gene. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method through the comparison with GA computation.
