Extract

Economic planning can assist policy makers in using available resources to improve the quality of life for rural and urban people. The objective of this paper is to illustrate how simulation can aid in regional and community planning. The paper will be presented in three main sections. First, economic planning and simulation will be defined. Second, empirical results of a regional simulation study will be presented. Third, empirical results of multi-county and community simulation studies will be discussed.
