Abstract
This study considers air pollution total quantity control and land use management to establish a methodology for estimating unit emission loads of land use types. An air pollution evaluation system (APES) is developed, based on air pollution evaluation theory and procedure by linking air pollution total quantity control and land use management. The APES consists of an information management subsystem, a model management subsystem, and an evaluation subsystem. The Nankan urban area, located in northern Taiwan, is used to illustrate the capability of the APES. The analysis results indicate that the integration of GIS technology, a spreadsheet application, and an air pollution simulation model into APES has made it an effective system for facilitating the examination of a set of alternatives and generating a sustainable land use management strategy. © 2001, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
