Description:
Holland is a little, crowded country with (like most nations in Europe) a high degree of unemployment. On the one hand the government tries to provide an adequate amount of industrial sites in attempting not to obstruct economic growth. On the other hand this puts a high claim on the amount of scenery still extant in our country. Therefore the council of the central province in Holland asked for an investigation about the relationship between the supply of industrial sites and the influence on the increase of employment in each part of the province. As there are six employment-office area's in this province, a partition was made in six regions. Several branches of employment have quite different effects on claims for industrial sites, so there was also a division made in three economic branches. This results in eight teen equations for many of the relationships in the same form, but with different parameters. Therefore the DYNAMO - III -language was used in model-building to take advantage of the array possibility. The final result is a computer-model comprising about fifty array-equations, which allows the calculation of the area of industrial sites in different stages of development in each region and gives the spreading of employment over the province until 1995.
