Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the planning methods used in the NAR study. First, the principal methods used in planning the NAR are outlined: multiobjectives; mathematical models; and institutional arrangements. Then, three other elements of the planning process are described: the analysis of needs, sources and devices; the planning regions; and the forecast years. A final section contains perspectives on the methods. The chapter provides a framework for detailed treatments of the principal planning methods in the chapters to follow.
