Facility location studies involve the selection of a preferred
course of action from an array of multiattributed alternatives. The
factors affecting this selection are defined in both quantifiable and
qualifiable terms. The former comprises primarily monetary or operational
data, and the latter consists of nonmonetary and environmental
parameters; where the...

Oregon has been collected for application in computer
analysis of snowfields. Vegetation type, canopy
cover, slope, aspect, insolation, and snowfield
ground truth delineation are given consideration.
In addition, a procedure for transferral of data
onto Landsat imagery was derived.
The two classic theories of the distribution of
cities in an urban system are the rank size rule
and central place theory. The rank size relationships,
as incorporated into G. K. Zipf's Principle
of Least Effort, is seen as the result of a balancing
of the opposing forces of urban...
Between 1967 and 1973, California, Oregon,
and Washington all established state-wide systems for
the preservation of land in its natural state. These
set aside parcels of land may be termed as Natural
Area Preserves. The history of each state's public
systems, different establishment procedures, and
management policies are discussed.
The objectives of this paper are (1) to apply
certain techniques for evaluation of social impacts in
a small community situation, and (2) to determine
