A zero-one programming model for contiguous land acquisition

Auteur :
WILLIAMS, J.C.

Description :
The land acquisition problem is a spatial partitioning problem that involves selecting multiple parcels to be acquired for a particular land use. Three selection criteria are considered : total cost, total area, and spatial contiguity. A new model is presented that enforces necessary and sufficient conditions for achieving contiguity in discrete cell landscapes, independent of other spatial attributes such as compactness.
