The academic has benefited from the practitioner's sense of problem. The practitioner has benefited from the academic's advancement in methodology.

With the use of a geographic information system (GIS), differential impacts by apportionment approach were assessed for the Cuppy-McClure Watershed, Indiana, an area undergoing conversion from agricultural to residential and industrial uses. A per-acre charge approach is simple to construct and administer and gives a spatially uniform cost, but does not account for differential storm-water generation between different land uses. A single storm event runoff coefficient approach increases the cost load on land areas that generate more storm-water runoff from rare, extreme rainstorms, in particular, land uses with extensive impervious surfaces. For the single-storm approach, cost per unit area in the study area ranges from 25% below the per-acre charge level to 291% above the per-acre charge level. A long-term runoff impact approach increases the cost load on land uses that generate more runoff from the natural range of storm events for an area. It gives the greatest differential impact between land uses, ranging from 51% below the per-acre charge level to 484% above the per-acre charge level. Runoff-based approaches to fee apportionment shift financial burden to the landowners responsible for generating storm water runoff. Assigning fiscal responsibility on the basis of impact level encourages impact-minimization strategies, such as including hydrologic analyses in land-use decisions. Different spatial arrangements of the same land uses in a watershed can significantly alter the level of hydrologic impact, thus impact-based fee apportionment also encourages inclusion of spatial organization and environmental concerns in land-use planning. © 1998 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.</p>","PeriodicalId":100107,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geographic Studies","volume":"2 4","pages":"247-260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/(SICI)1520-6319(199824)2:4<247::AID-AGS3>3.0.CO;2-C","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76585421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modifiable spatial-filter method (MSF) was developed to meet this problem (Rushton, Armstrong, and Lolonis, 1995). In this article, a modifiable catchment area method (MCA) is developed, and the performance of the two methods is compared in one school district. Both methods use individual, address-matched, student records, but are different in the way they spatially aggregate these data to estimate key model parameters. Results are clearly sensitive to these differences. We apply both methods retroactively to the address-matched student records, from 1989 through 1992, of 16 elementary schools in one school district in Iowa, and we project the 1993–1996 enrollments for 17 school catchment areas in the district. We show that the average of the results of the two methods produce projections that are more accurate than either method alone. We also show that it is the nonstationarity of model parameters that leads to different levels of performance by the two methods in certain parts of the study region. © 1998 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.</p>","PeriodicalId":100107,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geographic Studies","volume":"2 3","pages":"157-175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/(SICI)1520-6319(199823)2:3<157::AID-AGS1>3.0.CO;2-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80973078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
