Nemeth Dr. Slobodan Mitric A. Nemeth, Adviser Dr. Burkhard von Rabenau Spartmenfc of Civil Engineering Dr. Joseph Treiterer ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation has roots going back at least to 1970. Many people have contributed, in different ways and at different times, to its formulation. Among them are the staffs of the transportation and landuse planning agencies involved. The literature furnished by these agencies has been invaluable. The summaries of the landuse fore casting and distribution methods contained in this dissertation are excerpted from this literature. The author would like to express his appreciation to all these agencies. Thanks are also extended to Dr. Michael Godfrey, Dr. Slobodan Mitric, Dr. Zoltan Nemeth and Dr. Burkhard von Rabenau for their sin cere interest, encouragement and guidance throughout the course of this research. My deepest debt is to my friend Beverly Pritchett. She not only typed the final document, but also took up the responsibility of editing and proofreading the entire dissertation.
