The objective of the models developed is to determine if certain road segments should be rehabilitated in the given year (resurfaced, reconstructed or patched), or major maintenance postponed for at least another year. If the road is to be rehabilitated, some variation in funds expended is possible. The marginal return within the allowable interval of variation is estimated to be nonlinear. Two basic models are presented. The first assumes the rehabilitative alternative or design is fixed, and hence the problem has a single linear constraint imposed by the budget. The second is the design selection problem and contains multiple choice constraints in addition to the budget constraint. An illustrative example is included.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101267,"journal":{"name":"Urban Systems","volume":"4 2","pages":"Pages 175-181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0147-8001(79)90016-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82705991","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}

Recently several governmental, educational, and research institutions have come up with a variety of organizational plans to address environmental problems that are interdisciplinary in nature. Within the scope of many of these plans, systems analysis has been considered a potential framework in which varied disciplinary efforts can be integrated and unified. This paper discusses the scope and limitation of systems analysis as such an integrative tool. In particular, the roles of objectives, orchestration, synthesis, and implementation in the solution of resource and environmental problems are discussed in detail. Finally, an integrated curriculum for ecosystems management and a set of recommendations to improve the organizational efficiency and the design of interdisciplinary research efforts are also provided.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101267,"journal":{"name":"Urban Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"Pages 43-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0147-8001(79)90006-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85815610","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}
