2009年1月10日（周六）下午2：00将再次举行我院兼任教授赖世刚博士题为“A Planning Tool for Making Multiple, Linked Decisions－Part 2: Application”的学术报告，报告地点：公共管理学院土地管理系（华家池校区中心北大楼423会议室），欢迎广大师生参加。
Abstract: Based on the theoretical framework, in this talk I demonstrate how Decision Network can be used to formulate the inventory approach to urban growth boundaries as an application of the planning tool to a general case. In particular, in the inventory approach expansions of UGBs are considered as decision situations, land consumptions as problems, and order sizes of UGBs as solutions. I compare the time- and event-driven systems of the inventory control problem based on the decision network framework. The former in the framework is considered as making single, independent decisions in time, whereas the latter as making multiple, linked decisions in time. My numerical example shows that the event-driven system is more effective than the time-driven system in that the former incurs less total cost than the former in the UGBs context. The implication is that making multiple, linked decisions, as manifested by Decision Network, would yield more benefits, such as lowering the total cost, to the planner than making these decisions independently.
Keywords: decision making, planning support system, city management
