Abstract

Sustainable planning concepts and methodologies recognize the limits of local natural and human resources, and maximize local self-sufficiency. However, these new concepts and methodologies are only based on environmental efficiency, without a concern for social and economic sustainability in community planning. Furthermore, these methodologies lack any relation to geographical plans because they are usually analyzed with different procedures. Therefore, an integrated method of quantitative analysis of sustainability has developed, incorporating the environmental and the socio-economic factors using a unique combination and sequence of com-puter simulations and statistical data in community planning applications. It provides direct and tangible values for evaluation of planning decisions. This research examines two contrasting conditions of suburban development in the United States. One is chosen from a ‘conventional development’ based on typical suburban sprawl; the other is presented as a hypothetical community by the author. According to the proposed method, a set of quantitative indicators is carefully determined to show whether the cases are becoming more or less sustainable over the life-cycle.
