PUB DATE Sep 94 NOTE 22p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association (New York, NY, September 1-4, 1994). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *City Government; *Community Planning; *Computer Simulation; Educational Games; Human Geography; Land Use; *Simulated Environment; Teaching Methods; *Urban Areas; Urban Environment; Urbanization; *Urban Planning; Urban Studies IDENTIFIERS *SimCity ABSTRACT This research paper presents an analysis of the computer simulation, SimCity, used for an urban city planning class. The data were gathered by actual use of the simulation and an electronic mail network was employed to secure impressions from users of the simulation. SimCity (developed by Maxis) provides t .e player with rules of human factors, economic factors, survival factors, and political factors that are both opportunities and constraints to the master planner. In addition, there are numerous maps to monitor land use patterns, zoning, demography, pollution, and other factors as the simulation progresses. The simulation also allows the user to manipulate tax rates and funding levels for the city. The point of the simulation is to duplicate the real world of urban politics with the instantaneous ability of the computer. The attraction of SimCity is the resemblance to the real-life choices that city planners must
