It also provides an optimal investment combination analysis for individual farmers. DSSs can support complex decision making through an accessible computer interface that presents results in an understandable form. Results from the representative scenario suggest that maximization of overall economic benefits for 23 towns in Yongxin would require relatively small increases in agricultural and horticultural areas, and significant increases in scale of livestock, poultry, sericulture, forestry, and fisheries.Text1 digital file (p. 24-42)enDECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMLINEAR PROGRAMMINGREGIONAL PLANNINGWATER AND SANITATIONWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTAGRICULTURAL PLANNINGCHINAENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSSOFTWARE ENGINEERINGDECISION MAKINGMATHEMATICAL MODELSINTEGRATED PLANNINGUNCERTAINTYFAR EAST ASIAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
