The document discusses various scientific methods used to delineate and classify regions for planning purposes. It describes flow analysis, gravitational analysis, Thiessen polygon method, distance minimization method, and discriminant analysis method. Flow analysis involves analyzing the direction and intensity of flows between centers and surrounding areas to determine functional regions. Gravitational analysis uses a gravity model to measure interaction between centers based on their mass and distance. The Thiessen polygon method divides an area into polygons around sampling points. The distance minimization method aims to minimize transportation costs. Discriminant analysis groups regions based on similar variable characteristics. In summary, the document outlines different analytical techniques for defining and categorizing regions scientifically for regional and urban planning.
Gravity vs Radiation model two approaches on commuting in GreeceMaria Stefanouli
Commuting –defined as the daily travelling for employment purposes– has gradually intensified in the last decades. At the heart of today’s working life, the multivariate commuting is of great importance for every sustainable policy. Thus, the objective of this paper is to examine, using the latest available census data, commuting flows in Greece at relatively fine unit scales (Local Administrative Unit - LAU1). For this purpose, the gravity model is used, as is the radiation model, which recently was introduced in the approach of transportation fluxes. Both the methodology and the results are compared. Consequently, this paper aims not only to approach the commuting patterns in Greece, but also to conclude whether the radiation model is a good alternative to the use of gravity models in spatial interaction analysis.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

5. • Flow analysis builds up functional regions on the basis of the direction
and intensity of flows between the dominant center and surrounding
satellites.
• Each flow will show decreasing intensity as it becomes more distant
from the main center and increasing intensity as it approaches another
center.
• The influence is highest at the center / node and decreases as and when
moved away from the node
• The boundary of the sphere of influence of the dominant center will be
where the flow intensity at a minimum and the influence further drops
nearing to zero
• This gives cut off points ( on influence of influence ) and finally the
tentative delineation is done.
Flow analysis
7. • Flows may be of several types:
• economic (road, rail, shopping or commuting-cargo or passenger );
• social (such as flow of students or patients);
• political (flow of govt. expenditure);
• information (newspapers, telephone calls), etc.
• The flows are plotted in matrix form, from which primary and
secondary flows into and out of each center can be identified

9. • The gravity model assumes that the interaction between two
center's is directly proportional to the ‘mass’ of the centres and
inversely proportional to ‘distance’ between the centres
o ‘Mass’ can be population, employment, income, expenditure and retail
turnover.
o Distance can be in physical terms (kms) including air distance , time, price,
and intervening opportunities.
o In mathematical notation f = k (m1 * m2)/d2
( K= Constant, m1, m2 Mass, d=distance)

11. Used in land use planning or rain fall pattern identification etc
The Thiessen polygon method was used by Bogue in 1949, to demarcate 67
metropolitan territories in the United States. The construction of polygons done in 6
steps –
• The connecting lines are drawn from the each adjacent center to another nearest
center.
• The midpoints of the lines draw from bisection lines connecting to the centers.
• From the middle point, a vertical line is drawn on which the line is a ground of
polygons. Similarly, lines are drawn from other midpoints.
• Units located across the boundary lines are included within the boundary of that
center. In which more than half the area of that unit is located.
• Once the polygons are formed, each area of the polygon is multiplied with the
value associated ( say average rainfall etc)
• All values are summed and divided by total area
Thiesson polygon
• Though widely used, this method has its shortcomings. For example, in
mountainous areas, an irregular spatial distribution of precipitation can be formed
over small distances, and the Thiessen method can yield erroneous results.
• More accurate methods are used sometimes ,say using Arc GIS etc

17. • In this method minimizing the distance by the cost of transportation for
transporting an object from its various sources to several destinations or
transporting it back from the destination to the source has to be
minimized.
• In 1963, an experiment was conducted on 2900 students attending 13
high schools in Wisconsin State Grand County. The optimum limit of
school areas was determined in such a way
• Possible to minimize travel distance and determine which student can go
to which school with minimum hindrance wrt to travel time, and other
constraints. Accordingly, each school, pupils etc can be optimised
• With advent of operation research methods ( Optimization techniques) ,
and software's, such tasks are simpler and easier
• Alternatively, Airline scheduling exercise ( Destinations as airports
instead of schools, Passengers instead of students)
Distance minimization method
18. • A method to group regions, settlments etc based on the nature of
variables they represent ( similar to factor analysis and cluster analysis)
Discriminant analysis method
19. Summary
Delineating a region for planning is a complex task. There is no hard and
fast rule to delineate regions, except for the logic and discretion of the
researcher taking into account of the site, context and conditions
