An Allocation Model of Interactive Activities for Coastal Zone Planning

Abstract

In order to plan the efficient utilization of coastal zones considering preservation of the environment, an activities allocation model in consideration of their interactive effects is proposed in this paper. Here, agglomeration economies are considered as a positive interactive effect, and external diseconomies are treated as a negative effect. This model is formulated by the n-person non-cooperative games and solved by computer simulation. First, the concerned area should be divided into small grids, and a potential analysis should be conducted. Then, the proposed model is applied to frame an activities allocation plan. As a case study, this model is applied to actual coastal waters and its usefulness is examined.
