I. INTRODUCTION TO THE MODEL
A. Brief Description of the Model
In a sense, the RIVER BASIN MODEL is a misnomer
because if one places an emphasis on "River" it leads one
to believe that the model is primarily concerned with
water management. The emphasis should be placed on "River
Basin", and that term should be interpreted in its broadest
context as meaning a geographical area of land. Through
its two major components -- human interaction and computer
simulation the model represents the Economic, social
and governmental activity that takes place within the
geographical boundaries defined by the river basin or more
simply by a group of continguous counties.
The model is unlike most other simulation or human
interaction models. It was not designed to accomplish any
one specific purpose. Rather it was designed to let its
users represent the major economic, social, and govern-
mental decision-makers who cause a regional system to
function and change on a year-to-year basis. As part of
the functioning of this regional system, water is demanded
by industries and municipal water suppliers and pollution
is generated by manufacturing and commercial activities, by
people, and by farm activities.
The model is a computer-assisted decision-making
tool, in which a number of computer programs simulate major
processes that take place in the local system such as
migration, housing selection, employment, transportation,
shopping patterns,the allocation of leisure time, and water
quality determination. Users of the model provide inputs
to these programs on behalf of business activities in the
economic sector, groups of people or population units in
the social sector, and government departments in the
government sector.
Normally, the users of the model are assigned
decision-making responsibility for businesses, population
units, and government departments in a gaming format.
This means that users become members of teams that are
assigned control of:
1. Economic Assets: cash, land, manufacturing
plants, outside investments, commercial
activities, and/or residences. -
2. Social Assets: population units that are
designated as high income, middle income,
and/or low income.
1.
-------
3. Government Assets: power of the budget, taxing
and assessing authority, service responsibility,
and planning and regulatory power.
The computer print-outs for a year provide a de-
tailed description of the regional area represented by the
model, and the users of the model evaluate this status as
individuals, as team members, and collectively to define
problems, establish objectives, develop strategies, imple-
ment plans, and react to feedback from the new computer
printout for the next year.
The initial starting position shows a particular
set of allocations of the locals system's resources and
their effects on the status of the local area. The users
of the model evaluate their own particular status within
the local system as well as the status of the area as a
whole. They then interact with one another in a dynamic
decision-making environment in which they collectively have
control over the local water quality decisions that will be
made, implemented, and reacted to. Some of the model play-
ers may have apparently only marginal interests in the local
water quality issues because they are pre-occupied with
running schools, bui.lding roads, earning irjconor, . producing
manufactured goods, building housing, and supplying local
goods and services. Others will have maybe more interest
as they attempt to be elected into public office, run the
planning department, collect taxes, recreate, and develop a
generally pleasant environment for their new residential
subdivisions. Still others might have a direct and pressing
interest in the local water quantity and quality as they
attempt to set and enforce water quality standards, supply
municipal water, use surface water in their production
process, and benefit from major water-based recreation areas.
In short, the entire local system is represented by
the model and its users, and water decisions are placed
within their realistic context of having different importance
to different individuals as a function of their occupation,
location, resources, and personal inclinations.
B. The Three Sectors
The model contains three basic decision-making sectors:
economic, social and public. (Figure 1) Every city or region
contains these three vital sectors whose interactions cause
the area to function and to either grow and prosper or stagnate
and decay. Decisions made by one group ultimately affect others

and one group often works against another group to
achieve its goals. For example, proposed commercial
developments by an economic group in a predominantly
residential area can be blocked by residents of that
area just as proposed changes by the government depart-
ments can be opposed by those participants in the economic
or social sector.
1. The Economic Sector
Economic decision-makers are those businessmen who
operate industrial, commercial, residential and farm es-
tablishments. Upon receiving output at the beginning of
the round economic decision-makers review their economic
status and make decisions for the present round. The
various economic activities in the model have the following
characteristics:
Basic Industry
Heavy Industry, Light Industry and National Services
spend money for business goods and business services, utilities,
a labor force, transportation, and taxes. In order to
produce basic industry output which is then sold to the
national markets at prices determined by national business
conditions (the computer), owners of basic industries can
make a wide variety of decisions. These decisions include
purchasing land, changing salaries or maintenance levels,
boycotting business goods and business services establish-
ments, acquiring laons, building new businesses, upgrading
existing businesses, demolishing old ones, and treating
effluents that are dumped into the local water system.
The basic industry of the economy can be further sub-
divided into the following categories:
HI - Heavy Industry
FL - Furniture and lumber
SG - Stone, clay and glass
MP - Primary metals
MF - Fabricated metals
NL - Non-electrical machinery
EL - Electrical machinery
TE - Transportation equipment
4.
-------
LI - Light Industry
FO - Food
TL - Textile, apparel and leather
PA - Paper
CR - Chemicals, plastics, and rubber
NS - National Services
Commercial Establishments
Business goods (BG) and business services (BS), per-
sonal goods (PG) and personal services (PS) spend money
on many of the same items as basic industry in order to
maintain a level of service capacity. This service capacity
is consumed or partially consumed by local customers which
include: the industrial sector, other commercial estab-
lishments and the population units (Pi's) who live in the
city. Owners of the commercial establishments may make
most of the decisions that owners of basic industries make
in addition to setting prices for their products.
Residences
Single-family (RA), townhouse (RB), and high-rise (RC)
residence units spend money on personal goods and personal
services, utilities, and taxes, and earn income based on
rent charged and the number and type of occupants residing
in their housing units. Owners of residences may make the
same types of decisions made by owners of basic industry
in addition to setting the rent paid by their tenants.
Farms
Farm owners make very few decisions aside from how
their land will be utilized and what level of fertilizer
use they will employ.
2. The Social Sector
Decision-makers in the social sector represent the
citizens who live and work in the simulated area. People
are represented in terms of population units (Pi's). Each
population unit represents fixed numbers of people (500).
Population units are divided into three socio-economic
groups: high income (PH), middle-income (PM) and low-
income (PL). Because each class possesses its own ex-
pectations and behavioral patterns, each will have different
preferences for residence, job, and schooling, etc. Social
decision-makers can vote on behalf of the Pi's which they
represent. Voting power is dependent upon the number of
-------
population units controlled, the number of registered voters
in each, and their socio-economic class. Social decision-
makers can also direct the population units under their con-
trol to boycott places of employment or shop locations.
Social decision-makers can also allocate leisure time of
their population units to be spent in any of four basic
activities: extra work, adult education (public or private)
politics, and recreation. The amount of time spent on each
of these activities has an effect on the socio-economic
status and/or the dissatisfaction index of people living
within the city.
A significant part of the model centers around how
Pi's function within the local system during the course
of each round of play which represents one year of time in
the local area. Figure 2 shows the actions of Pi's as they
are affected by the major operating programs.
3. The Public Sector
In the model, the government sector deals with the
problems of education, highways, municipal services,
planning, zoning, utilities, water supply and quality and
bus and rail transportation. The public sector is divided
into two basic components. The first component includes
elected officials: the Chairman and the Council. These
officials are elected by the social decision-makers repre-
senting the people who live in each jurisdiction. The
Chairman and Council set tax rates, approve budgets, grant
subsidies and appropriations, and make appointments.
.Appointed officials named by the Chairman are heads of these
six governmental departments: Assessment (AS), Schools (SC)',
Municipal Services (MS), Highway (HY), Planning and Zoning
(PZ), and Utilities (UT). The Bus and Rapid Rail Companies
are semi-private organizations which also may be appointed
by the Chairman. Players representing these departments
make decisions which include allocating capital and current
funds, changing salaries and maintenance levels, requesting
federal-state aid, changing district boundaries, con-
structing or demolishing public buildings, upgrading public
buildings, changing levels of service, and transferring
cash between accounts.

Poor water quality incareses dis-
satisfaction and high coliform count
increases health costs and time lost
due to illness.
Housing that depreciates becomes less
attractive in the migration process.
Pi's are assigned to full and part
time jobs that maximize net income
(salary minus transportation costs),
employers search for best educated
workers.
Pi's travel to work by the mode and
route that minimizes total costs
(dollar plus time), Pi's travel to
shopping along the minimum cost routes,
Students of Pi's are assigned to
public or private schools based upon
the quality of public schools.
Pi's are assigned to parks within a
specified distance of where they live.
Involuntary expenditures of leisure
time are calculated as a function of
the success of getting part time
jobs, public adult education and the
time spent on transportation.
Pi's are assigned to stores at which
the total costs are minimized (price
plus transportation to the store).
7.
-------
C. The Water Component
The water component is a subsector that, in a sense,
cuts across the other three sectors or is a part of each.
For example, some of the industrial activities in the econo-
mic sector use surface water in their production process
and all other economic businesses have some need for munici-
pally supplied water. Population units in the social sector
use water as a function of their income class and the type
of housing they inhabit. In the government sector, the
Utility Department is responsible for supplying the municipal
water needs of the residents of its jurisdiction.
Each of the surface water users requires a specified
quality of water and must either treat the water they intake
or purchase water from a source outside of the local system.
Every water user adds some pollutants to the water it
returns to the water system. If left untreated, these water
discharges may lower the quality of water of the body of
water into which they are dumped. Since water users and
polluters are located in a geographical space, acitivities
upstream and downstream are affected differently by the
dynamically created water quality conditions.
D. The Local System
The particular regional configuration being used is
represented on a grid map consisting of 625 squares. Each
square is of equal size and represents 6.25 square miles,
2.5 miles on a side. The grid and all of the computer maps
are keyed to a coordinate system. Each parcel can be
identified by its coordinates. Horizontal coordinates
range from 70 to 118 and vertical coordinates from 12 to 60.
Intersections are identified by the odd-numbered coordinates
and highways are identified by even-odd (east-west) or odd-
even (north-south) coordinates. In all cases, the
horizontal coordinate (i.e., the larger number) is identi-
fied first.
" For example, on the map in Figure 3 the shaded
parcel is identified as 7014. Further, the four mile
highway indicated by ZZZ is identified as 7217, 7417, 7617,
7817, while the two mile highway indicated by XXX is
identified as 7318, 7320. The intersection marked by 0
is located at 7317.

E. The Unit of Time A Round
In the model, a round represents a year of change in
the life of the simulated area. From the standpoint of the
participants, however, a round may be thought of as a
decision-making cycle which starts when they receive their
computer output and ends when they hand in their decision
input forms for processing by the computer.
During the early part of the typical round, decision-
makers will be simultaneously reviewing their computer out-
put and attempting to organize their possible actions.
Economic decision-makers, for example, will probably attempt
to acquire parcels of land that look good for future devel-
opment purposes. They may attempt to secure loans from
local or outside sources, apply for zoning changes, request
utility expansions, and lobby for increased highway access.
At the same time, social decision-makers might be bargaining
for higher wages, requesting improvements in local schools
and municipal services, lobby for higher water quality in
the local river, and trying to promote those politicians
who see things their way.
Meanwhile, the governmental decision-makers may be
receiving requests from the economic and social decision-
makers to lower taxes, improve schools, provide better
municipal services, expand highways, build additional
utilities, enlarge the park system, and improve other
services. Budget officials are faced with the task of
finding additional revenue to meet expanding public needs
and dividing appropriations among the many local depart-
ments, all of which have attempted to justify their ex-
panding budgets. Also the government office concerned
with water quality might be pressuring the polluting indus-
tries to treat their wastes or face regulatory action. All
water users might be concerned with water quality and quan-
tity in so far as it affects their cost of using water and
doing business.
10.
-------
Toward the middle of the round, it becomes clear to
many decision-makers that all of their requests will not
be granted. Thus, trade-offs and bargains must be made.
Elected officials will begin to worry about staying in
office. Departments must often plan to operate with less
funds than they had requested. Low income representatives
attempt to make their political power felt. High-income
representatives attempt to maintain their status. Business-
men begin to look for short-cuts to reduce their losses and
increase their activity and profit-making ventures. The
water quality office begins to act upon its earlier threat.
As the round approaches a conclusion, the participants
formalize the bargains they have made, continue to fill out
their decision forms, terminate the negotiations on new wage
levels, new prices and new rents, carry on their boycotts
and complete any other possible actions. All water related
decisions by the private and public decision-makers are
completed. Treatment plants are built, industries shut down,
fine levied, sampling stations constructed, etc.
When the round ends, participants campaign and carry
out new elections, hold town meetings, debrief their actions,
and develop new strategies while the computer performs
its functions and prepares new output on the status of the
simulated city.
F. The Function of the Computer
In the model, players are able to exercise a number of
decision alternatives. Only some of these will be com-:
municated to the computer, the rest will be part of the con-
stant communication, bargaining and negotiating carried
out in the game-room itself.
The computer performs several major functions in the
mode1.
First, it stores all the relevant economic, social
and governmental statistics for the area; updates data
when changes are made; and prints out yearly reports on the
status of the local system and reports for the economic,
social, and government decision-makers.
Second, the computer simulates the actions of the out-
side system. For example, the computer simulates both a
national business cycle, the probabilities o£ federal-state
aid and interest rates on most loans.
11.
-------
Third, the computer performs certain routine functions
or processes that would be time-consuming if the players
themselves were to perform them. For example, the computer
assigns workers from population units to jobs under the
assumption that workers will attempt to earn as much money
as possible. Other processes include assessing all property,
assigning buyers of goods and services to shop at particular
commercial establishments, assigning children to public or
private schools based upon the capacity and quality of the
public schools, and assigning population units to residences
based on their desirability. The computer also simulates
the migration process which moves population units into,
out of, and within the local system. It also measures
all of the types of pollution at all points along the river
system and calculates a comprehensive water quality index.
12.

II. THE GOVERNMENT SECTOR
A. Introduction to the Sector
The GOVERNMENT SECTOR represents the management ap-
paratus for the public sector of the area represented by
the model. Participants in this Sector are the elected and
appointed public officials. The Government Sector can make
public policy, implement plans and programs, provide public
services and raise and disperse funds. The model is suf-
ficiently flexible that the Government Sector can be oper-
ated using strong central control or somewhat autonomous
departments as determined by the participants. There is a
separate government apparatus for each of the political
jurisdictions represented by the model. Thus, intergovern-
mental cooperation and competition may evolve during the
play.
B. Sector Functions
Figure GV1 shows the government structure that may exist
in each of the local systems. The Bus and Rail Departments
are systemwide functions, whereas the other departments oper-
ate on a jurisdiction basis. As noted, the Chairman (or
Mayor) and Council are elected in each of the jurisdictions,
and the department (staff) decision-makers are appointed
by the chairman. The optional public departments, Utilities,
Bus and Rail are usually part of the Government Sector, as
quasi public functions, but they can also be operated as
private (economic) sector activities either initially or as
a result of participant action (public sale). The codes used
to identify the government functions are shown in parentheses
after the function name in Figure GV--1.
Elected officials are accountable to the electorate
(the social sector). They are required to respond to
public hearings, propose and defend referenda on certain
issues, and stand for election. The manner in which elected
officials exercise power and conduct their administration
and public affairs, however, is at their discretion.
Appointed Department representatives are responsible
to the Chairman and Council. However, the presence or
absence of effective leadership and communication may in-
fluence this relationship and staff decisions. The Govern-
ment Sector decision-makers depend for their political life
on the votes of the social sector. Their relationship with
the business community is determined by their own view
of public office and public service.

C. Administrative (Non-Decision) Functions
Any number of additional administrative functions can
be created to approximate local structures or to examine
a variety of administrative mechanisms. While these op-
tional functions do not make direct input decisions to
the computer, they may be created to have as much advisory,
regulatory or "legal" influence as the participants (or
Director) determine. An ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CONTROL
Commission, for instance, could be established to act as
a regulatory agency in the area of water quality and as
such could influence current economic activities and future
development.
D. Government Decisions
The Government Sector decisions cover a wide spectrum
of municipal and public service activities. The types of
possible decisions are listed in Figure GV-2, with an
indication of the individual decision-makers with primary
interest or responsibility. Complete descriptions are in
each decision-maker's manual.
In the model, as in the real world, the government can
anticipate the emergence of pressing issues related to jobs,
housing, economic development, education, public transit,
and the environmental quality of their region.
This issue may, for example, occur in the form of
special zoning requests, substantial school budgets for
adult education, or adamant citizen demands for clean water,
increased recreation facilities or lower utility rates.
E. Government Output
It rarely happens that the government has all the in-
formation it wants, or needs, to make perfect decisions.
Many decisions, under pressures of time, will be typical
"guesstimates" - intuitive actions. It is possible, how-
ever, for each activity to develop an effective information
system using the available resources in the model.
For the local system, the general output is usually
posted each round and is available to all decision-makers
for general information and analysis. The general output
makes available to each participant, in maps, detail and
summary form, extensive current and comparative informa-
tion about conditions, trends and characteristics of the
region. The range of information in the maps and the items
of General Output cannot be overemphasized. Experience

with the model has indicated that decisions are facilitated
if the participants use the General Output information as
part of their decision process.
The complete government sector output consists of the
information, maps and detail made available to each govern-
ment decision-making function of the government. Each
government function has available to it a comprehensive
portrayal of its status and the conditions which pertain
to its activities.
F. Government Budgetary Procedures
The same general financial accounting procedure is used
for all government departments/ including Utilities, Bus
and Rail. Department budgets are divided into Capital and
Current accounts. Departments may transfer funds from one
account to another/ but no automatic transfers will take
place. Appropriations, subsidies, and cash transfers to
departments must be directed to either the capital or
current account.
The Chairman's account has only a current account, the
Planning and Zoning Department has only a capital account,
and the Assessment Department has no financial accounts.
All other departments have both accounts.
The Chairman makes appropriations, and subsidies from
his current account before he actually receives income to
his account. His is the only department which makes
expenditures before income is calculated. Once a depart-
ment has received an appropriation, the money is never
automatically transferred back to the Chairman's account.
If the Chairman spends more than he later receives in
revenue, .a current bond is automatically floated in the
Chairman's name and is paid off from the Chairman's
account. If a department spends more than its revenues
(this can only happen in a department's current account),
a current bond is floated in the department's name and is
paid off from the department's account.
The following format is contained within each account:
Previous Cash Balance
Revenues
Expenditures
New Cash Balance.
-------
If the output is for round T, then Previous Cash
Balance would be equal to the New Cash Balance for round
T-l.
Expenditures may not be made from capital accounts
unless there is sufficient cash to cover the expenditure.
Therefore, the cash balance in a capital account is
always greater than or equal to zero; the cash balance in
the capital account may not be negative.
If expenditures from the current account are greater
than previous balance plus revenues, then a short term
bond (current or two-year) is automatically floated to
cover the deficit. Therefore, the New Cash Balance may
never be negative in the current account. Because of
rounding, the New Cash Balance will normally be slightly
positive (rather than zero) even in the case where a short-
term bond had to be floated.
All capital expenditures are player or director
decisions which have been submitted during the previous
EDIT. Current expenditures are made according to govern-
ment policies which may have been established in any previous
EDIT. Current expenditures (except miscellaneous expendi-
tures) do not directly reflect player decisions; they are
functions of policies. For example, a player sets the
salaries and number of job openings which the School Depart-
ment offers, but other local conditions influence how many
employees the department actually hires and thus influence
the amount which the department pays in salaries.
The most common capital revenue sources for departments
are appropriations (for MS, SC, HY, and PZ), capital bonding
for 25 years (all departments), Federal-State Aid (SC, HY)
and miscellaneous sources (sale of land, and incoming cash
transfers) . Special capital revenue sources are subsidies
to the Utility Department.
The most common capital expenditures are for con-
struction, land purchase, and miscellaneous (outgoing cash
transfers).
The most common current revenue sources are appropria-
tions (all but UT and CH), short term bonding, Federal-
State Aid (MS and SC), and miscellaneous income (incoming
cash transfers) .
Special current revenue sources exist for the Utility
Department (income from user charges on utility and water
service and subsidies) and the Chairman (taxes).

The most common current expenditures are for bond pay-
ments (capital bonds and current bonds together), goods and
services (MS, SC, maintenance for HY, and utility operating
costs for UT), salaries (MS and SC), and miscellaneous
(outgoing cash transfers).
Special current expenditures are for welfare payments
(MS), adult education (SC), treatment operating costs and
sampling station operating costs (UT), and subsidies (CH).

III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
A. Introduction
This package contains the basiq information and des-
cription of the model required by the Municipal Services
Department. It is assumed that the Model Overview, the
Scenario, and the Government Sector descriptions have been
read prior to the receipt of this package.
Once the players comprising the Municipal Services
Department have become familiar with the model in general,
the particular city being represented, and the workings of
the local municipal services system they will be able to
bring their own imagination and initiative to bear on the
operation of the Municipal Services Department in their
specific jurisdiction.
The local Municipal Services Department is given con-
trol of a number of resources within the local dynamic
system and it will have the opportunity to allocate these
resources and change them in such a way as to satisfy self-
established goals and/or to respond to pressures brought on
it by elected officials and the local citizenry and business
community.

R. Municipal Services Department Summary
The Municipal Services Department provides municipal
services (police, fire, and health services) to population
units and economic activities. The department receives
appropriations from the chairman of the local jurisdiction.
It may also float bonds for capital projects with approval
from the social sector through a referendum.
The department makes capital expenditures when expand-
ing its plant and facilities. Each new level of plant
requires a specified amount of land (which must be acquired)
and costs a specified dollar amount. Current expenditures
must be made each round to pay salaries, purchase needed
goods and services, pay off bonds, and cover welfare payment
(if local unemployment exists and local welfare is paid).
Each MS plant has an associated municipal services dis-
trict that is delineated by the department. All population
units and business activities receive their needed municipal
services from the plant serving the district within which
they reside. The supply of municipal services for a dis-
trict is dependent upon the level of the MS plant, its
value ratio, and the number of Pi's hired from the low and
middle class.
The demand for municipal services in a district is
dependent upon the number and type of population units and
business activities located within the municipal services
district.
An index of the quality of municipal services within an
MS district is derived from the ratio of the MS units demanded
to the MS units supplied. This ratio is multiplied times
100 to arrive at an MS Use Index. As the Use Index rises
above 100, the quality of service declines. This impacts
on population units by making their neighborhood dissatis-
faction increase. A poor MS Use Index affects all private
developments by causing their value ratio to decline at a
faster than normal rate. An MS Use Index of more than 100,
represents poor police protection (allowing greater crime
and vandalism), poor fire protection (causing more damage
from each fire), and poor health facilities (causing dissa-
tisfaction) .
The Municipal Services Department makes service deci-
sions that affect the quality of life in the neighborhoods
they serve and that affect the cost of doing business by
manufacturing, commercial, and residential owners.

IV. COMPUTER PRINTED OJJTPUT DESCRIPTION
A. Introduction
The printed computer output provides a yearly
report of the status of the simulated region and of inter-
actions within the region during the previous year. There
are several types of output: maps showing characteristics
of the region which differ geographically; summaries which
present information in capsulated form; and detailed
information from which the summaries are derived.
The figure on the next page shows the titles
of the output sections in the order in which they are
printed. That sequence follows neither the logical order
of computer program operations nor the usual sequence in
which a user examines the output. The code number beside
the title of each section of output listed in this figure
is the code number used in all examples of output included
In this manual^The output is explained in this section
in order of most general to most detailed information.
Output is explained in the following order:
- maps
- summary information
- general information of relevance to
all three sectors
- social sector detail
- economic sector detail
- government sector detail
There are a few standard features of all printed
output sections. Each has a title which is a short
description of the type of information given by the section
of output. Each also contains both the round number and
the game heading (the name of the data base being used or
some other heading input by the director). Where relevant,
a jurisdiction number is also printed.
After a few rounds' experience with the model, a
model user usually needs only the printed computer output
from a round "and the Master Tables and input formats con-
tained in this manual in order to play subsequent rounds.

B . Map Output
The model output includes several maps which visually
represent characteristics of the simulated region which
differ by location. The entire simulated region is repre-
sented on a single, two-page computer map. A map key is
printed at the bottom of each page. Map symbols appear on
a map in the three types of locations which can be specified
in the model: parcels (squares), parcel edges (lines sep-
arating squares) , and intersections of lines (parcel corners)
Land uses and other characteristics of parcels are repre-
sented within the squares. Divisions between parcels such
as roads or jurisdiction boundaries are represented be-
tween parcels, and activities such as terminals are repre-
sented at parcel corners.

1. Economic Status Map
This map shows the economic sector owners of all privately-
owned non-farm parcels and the economic activity, if any, on
each parcel. A parcel can have only one economic owner and
one economic activity. Owners of farm parcels are shown on
the Farm Map. The types of economic activities represented
in the model are listed in the Master Tables.
The economic owner of a parcel owns all of the land
and developments on the parcel which do not belong to the
government or which are not topographically undevelopable.
If the economic owner sells land to another economic de-
cision-maker, he must sell all of the privately-owned
land and buildings on the parcel to the new owner. An
economic decision-maker can sell any portion of undeveloped
land on a parcel to a government department.
The Planning and Zoning Department may zone parcels.
Zoning is a restriction on economic development. Once a
parcel is assigned a particular zoning code, all new economic
development on the parcel must conform to the new zoning.
If a parcel is unzoned, there is no restriction on what
type of activity may be constructed on it. The Economic
Status Map key defines what private land uses are allowed
under each zoning code.
When a new economic development is constructed on a
parcel, it must not only conform to the parcel's zoning;
it must have sufficient utility service. Utilities are
installed by the Utility Department in "levels" (1 - 9).
Each level of economic activity requires a certain number
of utility units, and each level of utility service supplies
a fixed number of utility units to a parcel.
If an economic decision-maker has insufficient utility
service for a proposed development, the Utility Department
must install adequate utility service before the new devel-
opment can be constructed.*
*There are two exceptions to the utility restriction
on development: 1) RA housing can be built with "private
utilities", which do not require utilities supplied by the
Utility Department; 2) the director can override the utility
restriction on individual developments.

Economic developments also require land. Each activity,
depending on its type, requires a certain amount of land
for each constructed level of development. Regardless of
the operating level of an activity, the land consumed is
that of the constructed level, which is always greater than
or equal to the operating level. The amount of privately-
owned land which is not in developments is classified on
this map as undeveloped. If a parcel shows no undeveloped
land, no further economic development can occur there un-
less the owner either acquires more land from a government
department owning a portion of the parcel or demolishes
existing economic developments. An economic decision-
maker can acquire land by purchasing a parcel from another
economic decision-maker or by bidding on land which is
owned by the Outside.
The operating level of an economic activity is shown
on the Economic Status Map. For most purposes, a busi-
ness1 operating level is the only level considered by the
computer programs. However, a business pays property
taxes and maintenance for its constructed level.
32
-------
2. Government Status Map
Whereas there can be only one economic owner per parcel,
any combination of government departments can own developed
and undeveloped land on a parcel. The government depart-
ments which can own land, and the types of developments each
can construct on a parcel are:
Department Development Type
Utility Department Utility Plant
Water Intake Treatment Plant
Sewage Outflow Treatment Plant:
Chlorination
Primary Treatment
Secondary Treatment
Tertiary Treatment
School Department School Unit
Municipal Service Municipal Service Unit
Department
Planning and Zoning Parkland
Department Public Institutional Land
Highway Department Road*
Terminal*
A government department can sell undeveloped land
which it owns to either another government department or
to the economic decision-maker owning the privately-owned
portion of a parcel.
The government status map shows the locations of some
of the types of government activities: schools, parks,
utility plants, and municipal service units.
*A road requires land from the parcels on each side,
and a terminal requires land from the four parcels touching
the intersection at which it is located.

3. Socio-Economic Distribution Map
This map shows the number of Pi's of each class living
on each residence parcel. The residence type and level are
also printed.
The migration process allocates people to housing.
Only two classes can live on a residence parcel simul-
taneously, due in part to the model's restriction that a
PH will not move into a residence with a quality index
below 71 and a PL will not move into housing with a quality
index above 70. It is possible, if a residence depreciates
below the minimum that a class will accept, that high-
income, for example, will live in a residence with a quality
index below 71 if the class was living on the parcel before
the depreciation. In no case, however, can PR's reside on
the same parcel with PL's.
Each level of a residence type provides a fixed num-
ber of space units. A Pi occupies a fixed number of
space units, depending on its class. The percent occu-
pancy of each residence is shown on the Demographic Map.

4. Demographic Map
The demographic map shows the number of people living
on each residence parcel, the percent occupancy of each
residence and the quality of all privately owned buildings
and equipment.
Overcrowding (over 100% occupancy) contributes to a
residence's neighborhood index and to the health index.
The quality is expressed as the quality index for a
residence and as the value ratio for non-residential ac-
tivities. A value ratio is the ratio of the present con-
dition of a business' buildings and equipment to their
original condition, expressed as a percent.
A quality index is somewhat different. Whereas a
new business has a value ratio of 100, a new residence
can have a quality index from 40 to 100.
Each year buildings and equipment depreciate in re-
sponse to several conditions which vary by type of activity
(see the Master Tables for the causes of depreciation).
A business's depreciation is measured as a percent of
original value (100). A residence's depreciation is
measured as a percent of the original value of such a type
of residence originally built at a quality index of 100,
regardless of the original quality of the specific resi-
dence. Thus, business depreciation is a percent of original
value but residential depreciation is a percent of quality
index 100.
The owner of an activity can set a maintenance level
for the activity. The maintenance level is the quality
index or value ratio at which the owner will maintain
the activity, regardless of how much it depreciates in a
year. Not until the activity's value ratio or quality
index falls to its maintenance level does the owner incur
maintenance expenditures. The computer program depreciates
and maintains buildings and equipment and charges the
owner for the maintenance cost.
The Demographic Map shows quality indexes and value
ratios after depreciation and after any maintenance.

5. Topographical Restriction Map
This map shows the percent of a parcel that may not be
purchased or developed by any local decision-makers. Land
that is topographically undevelopable includes mountains,
rock outcrops, swamps. None of the area consumed by water
bodies represented in the local system (large lakes, small
lakes, and rivers) is shown on this map. The map also
shows jurisdictional boundaries, the road network, and the
location of terminals.

6. Social Decision Maker Map
This map indicates which social players make decisions
for the low, middle, and high income population units on
parcels. The top letter on a given parcel represents the
social decision-maker who controls the PL's who live there,
and the middle and lower letters represent the social decision-
makers who control the PM's and PH's, respectively, who live
there. If a particular class does not live on a parcel,
no letter is printed.
Not until a parcel is developed for residential land
use and occupied by at least one income class, will a social
decision-maker for that parcel appear on the map. Note that
different decision-makers may control the different popu-
lation classes on a single parcel. Social teams acquire
control over additional Pi's on a parcel when the number of
Pi's of that class moving into the parcel exceeds the number
moving out. Social teams may find that from round to round
they gain or lose control of population units on a residential
parcel of land. This occurs as a result of the migration of
Pi's of a class to a parcel where previously there were no
Pi's of that class (a gain) or as a result of the migration
away from a parcel of all the Pi's of a class on that parcel.

7. Municipal Services Map
This map designates the jurisdictional boundaries
(000) and the district boundaries (xxx) for all municipal
service districts within each jurisdiction. Municipal
service districts are groups of contiguous parcels that
are within the service area of a municipal service (MS)
plant. There may be parcels of land that are not contained
within a MS district.
The information contained on a land parcel shows the
private land use and constructed level and the number of
MS units required by this private land use. The MS use
index is shown on those parcels on which a MS plant is
located. The parcel locations of MS plants are also
indicated by surrounding asterisks (***).
Private land uses require the number of MS units
indicated in the MS Master Table. Each land use receives
the number of units of service it requires, but the quality
of the MS service is based upon the ratio of units demanded
within a district to the units that are available to the
MS plant given its level, value ratio, and employment mix.
This ratio is called the MS Use Index, and as it rises
above 100 the quality of service declines.
The MS Use Index affects the neighborhood index
(neighborhood dissatisfaction) which in turn affects
migration and housing selection; the Use Index also
affects the rate at which private developments decline
in value each round.

C. Summary Information
1. Demographic and Economic Statistics
The output summarizes a wide variety of information
about the simulated region. There are two basic types
of information: statistics by jurisdiction and for the
region as a whole about local conditions, and measures of
interactions between the region and the Outside System.
The former provide comparisons between jurisdictions; the
latter provide comparisons between the local and Outside
systems.
Statistics Regarding Local Conditions
Total population: the number of people (not Pi's),
by class.
Percent change over previous year: the total popu-
lation change, positive or negative, between the current
round and the previous round. This is the only local
statistic which is given only as a total and not broken
down by jurisdiction.
Average population per parcel: the number of people
divided by the number of parcels.
Developed land (in parcels) : the amount of land
area (in parcel equivalents) consumed by public and
private developments.
Undeveloped land: the amount of land area (in parcel
equivalents) not consumed by developments.
Total land area: the number of parcels.
Assessed value of land in millions: the property tax
base.
Assessed value of developments in millions: the
development tax base.
Average quality of life index: a measure across
classes of the people's average quality of life index.
The higher the index, the poorer the quality of life.
The indexes may differ significantly within a jurisdiction,
but only averages are given here.
Number of registered voters: the number of people
eligible to vote, from which the number who actually vote
are selected.

Number in public adult education: the number of
people who wanted to participate in public adult education
programs and were able to do so because programs were
provided by their school departments.
Average educational level: by class, the average
educational level. This ranges from 0 to 100. The higher
a worker's educational level relative to those of other
workers, the greater his chances of being hired before the
others.
Number of workers receiving welfare: if a jurisdic-
tion does have a program for aid to the unemployed, this
number is the number of unemployed workers. The number is
zero if there are either no unemployed workers or no
welfare program.
Student/teacher ratio: ratio of number of students
attending local public schools to number of teachers
employed by public schools. This is a factor when students
are allocated to public or private schools.
School enrollment: the number of students attending
local public schools and the number attending private
schools. Students attend private schools only if the
public schools in their districts are inadequate.
Housing units: the number of levels of RA (single
family), RB (town house, multiple dwellings), and RC
(high rise) housing.
Vacancy rate: the ratio of existing housing space
to housing space occupied, expressed as a percent. A
negative rate means that housing is overcrowded.
Number of employed workers: the number of people
holding full-time jobs, by class of worker.
Number employed by type of employer: the number of
full-time workers employed by each type of business and
government employer.
Number of unemployed workers: by class, the number
of workers seeking full-time employment who were unable
to obtain jobs.
Unemployment rate (percent): by classr the number of
unemployed workers as a percent of the total number of
workers who sought full-time jobs.

-------
Earning distribution: the percent of workers
earning less than $5,000, between $5,000 and $10,000, and
over $10,000 from full-time employment.
Transactions With the National Economy
Income from the national economy: federal-state aid
received, by type of aid, and income from both basic
industry sales of output and bus and rail sales of equip-
ment.
Sales to the national economy: federal-state taxes
paid, by type of tax, and purchases of goods, services,
and outside-owned land. The only Outside expenditure
which can be significantly controlled locally is the
purchase of goods and services due to local insufficiency.
National economy business cycle: last round's ratio
to "typical income"per unit of output for basic industry,
interest rates on loans and bonds from the Outside
(expressed as percents), and the average rate of return on
outside investments (expressed as percents).

D. COMPUTER OUTPUT EXPLANATION FOR THE
MUNICIPAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
1- Municipal Services Department Report
This report information is divided into five sections:
a. MS Characteristics - supply, demand and use index
for each MS plant and totals for the jurisdiction
b- Contracts - contractural agreements to purchase
business goods and services from specific suppliers
c- Undeveloped Land - location and amount of undevel-
oped land owned by the department
d. Outstanding Bonds - information on bonds still
requiring annual payments
e. New Construction - information on the location,
costs, and operating characteristics of new MS
facilities.
£. Boycotts - information on social classes boycotting
MS jobs.
a. MS Characteristics
The first column gives the numerical identification of
the MS facility. Each facility in the represented area is
given a unique identification number that is used on the
computer maps.
The second column gives the parcel location of MS
facility. The third column provides the development level
of the MS facility. These facilities may be built or upgraded
to one of three levels.
The fourth column gives the maintenance level for the
MS facilities. The department may change the maintenance
level for any MS facility. The maintenance level is the
lowest level to which the value ratio will be allowed to
decline before maintenance expenditures are incurred.
The fifth column is the value ratio for each MS facil-
ity. The value ratio is a measure of the .value and effec-
tiveness of the plant and equipment in relation to "brand
new" plant and equipment. A value ratio of 80 means that
the effective capacity of a MS facility is reduced to 80
percent of what it would be if the value ratio were 100.

-------
The sixth column is the effective capacity of service
or the MS supply provided by each MS facility. This number
is derived by finding the capacity that would be supplied
as determined by the MS level and employment mix and mul-
tiplying this times the value ratio expressed as a percent.
The seventh column is the MS loading or MS demand gen-
erated by the population units and business activities loca-
ted within the MS district boundaries. The MS units demanded
by each type of activity is shown in the MS Master Table.
Columns eight and nine show the employment mix requestes
in terms of population units. The final column shows the MS
Use Index. It is the ratio of loading (demand) to effective
capacity (supply) multiplied times 100.
The salaries offered per worker to PL and PM employees
is listed below the table along with the designated welfare
payment per unemployed worker.
If the MS Department did not hire all the population
units it requested, the following message is printed :
"EMPLOYMENT SHORTAGE LOW 5; MIDDLE 0"
This would indicate that 5 PL's were not hired.
b Contracts
The MS Department purchases goods and services each
round as part of the costs of operating and maintaining their
MS facilities. These purchases are made from BG and BS
establishments in the local system if contracts to do so are
submitted to the computer. If no contracts to purchase
locally supplied goods and services are made, then all needed
purchases are made from the outside system.
The contract table shows the type of good or service
in- column one. In the second column, the owner of the esta-
blishment supplying the good or service is indicated. The
third column shows the parcel location of the supplier if
it is a supplier within the local system.
The fourth column shows the percent of total purchases
made from BG and BS suppliers. The fifth column shows the
cost per BG and BS unit being charged by the supplier.
(The outside prices are fixed.)
The sixth column shows the number of BG and BS units
purchased and the last column shows the total cost. This
cost is derived by multiplying the cost per unit times the
number of units purchased.
52
-------
c. Undeveloped Land
This table shows the parcel location for undeveloped
land owned by the MS Department. It also shows the percent
of the parcel owned by the department. The percent of a
parcel required for a level one MS facility is shown in the
MS Master Table.
d. Outstanding Bonds
This table shows the type (capital or current) of bond,
the original principal, the number of rounds remaining to
pay off the bond (all bonds start as 25 or 2 year bonds),
the rate of interest being charged on the principal (deter-
mined by the state of the national bond market in the year
the bond was floated) , and the annual payment that must be
made on the debt. Bond payments on a bond floated in round
T begin in round T+l. Thus a current bond incurred in Round
2 will start being paid off in Round 3.
e- New Construction
The Construction Table shows projects that were com-
pleted at the beginning of the round and therefore were
in operation for the entire round. "Outside" indicates
that an outside construction firm performed the construction.
The site location is the parcel on which the MS facility was
constructed. The status will always appear as "Completed".
Old level is the previous development level for the MS
facility. A zero indicates that no MS facility previously
existed on that parcel. The new level is the present devel-
opment level for the MS facility after the construction.
The price of construction is indicated along with the
department specified maintenance level (this applies to the
entire structure) and the specified employment mix (this
applies to the new total level not only to the newly con-
structed increment) .
f. Boycotts
The Boycott Table shows three bits of information on
the boycotting population units (team controlling, income
class, and function which for MS boycotts will always be
work) . Three bits of information are formatted for the
boycotted employer. When the MS Department is the employer
being boycotted, "MS" and the jurisdiction number appear
under the third column heading entitled "owner".

V. TYPES OF DECISIONS AVAILABLE TO THE
MUNICIPAL SERVICES DEPAKTHETTT
A. Summary of Decisions
The three categories of decisions made by the MS Depart-
ment are those that are jurisdiction-wide in scope, those
that pertain to individual MS plants and districts, and those
that are capital land and construction decisions. The follow-
ing table shows the eight types of decisions as they relate
to these three categories.
Jurisdiction-wide
Change Salary Levels
Award BG and BS Contracts
Transfer Cash
Individual MS Plants
Change District Boundaries
Change Maintenance Level
Change Employment Requests
Capital
Acquire and Sell Land
Construct or Demolish MS Plants
The MS Department does not need to make any decisions
if it does not wish to do so. If no decisions are made, it
is assumed that salaries, contracts, district boundaries,
maintenance levels, and employment requests remain at their
present values. If no decisions are made, there will be no
cash transfers, land transfers, constructions, or demolitions.
The MS Department must be aware of the local system con-
straints on its decision-making. Capital expenditures may
not be made unless there are sufficient funds in the capital
account. New appropriations from the Chairman may increase
the amount of these capital funds.
56
-------
B. Input Format
Local system decision-makers (such as the MS Depart-
ment) use a standardized input form (Figure MS-3.2) when
making decisions that must be processed by the computer.
The standard message format is:
$CODE/=dm/a, b, c, d, ...
1. $CODE stands for the type of decision code. The MS
Department has the option to make decisions that use the
following decision codes:
$OTHER (salaries)
$CVPT (contracts, maintenance, employment)
$CASH (transfer cash)
$REDIST (redistrict)
$PU (land transfer)
$OUBLD (construct or demolish)
2. "=dm" is the decision-maker, which for the MS Depart-
ment is MSI, MS2, or MS3 depending upon the appropriate
jurisdiction number. A jurisdiction number must always
follow the MS decision-maker code, even if there is only
one active jurisdiction.
3. The columns "a", "b", and so forth, are filled in with
the appropriate information depending upon the particular
decision.
Note that there is a slash(/) after the decision
code and after the decision-maker code. There are commas
separating all other bits of information. Note also that
the decision-maker code is prefaced by an equals sign (-).

C- Sample Decisions for the MS Department
(The input format is shown on the sample input. Note that
the jurisdiction number must always be given even if only
a single jurisdiction exists.)
Jurisdiction-Wide Decisions
1. Change Salary Levels
The MS Department in Jurisdiction 2 wishes to change
its salaries for Pi's to $2700. Note that no dollar
signs need to be placed on the dollar amounts and that
the old salary for the PM's must also be input. The
decision is to change salaries, and if nothing had
been placed in the column for PM salary, the computer
would read the blanks as zeroes and the new PM salarv
would be put to the minimum amount.
2. Award BG or BS Contracts
Case 1: The MS Department in Jurisdiction 3 wishes to
made a BG contract so that all its purchases will be
made from a single local supplier (BS at 9830).
Presently, all the purchases are being made from the
outside system.
Case 2: The MS Department in Jurisdiction 1 wishes
to split its BS purchases between two local suppliers
in such a way that one gets 60 percent of the MS
business (BS at 10012) and the other gets 40 percent
(BS at 10636). Previously, a third BS establishment
at 11040 had supplied all of the BS services for the
MS Department. Its contract must be negated.
A department in a jurisdiction may not have more than
three contracts for BG or more than three contracts
for BS purchases.
3. Transfer Cash
Case 1: The MS Department in Jurisdiction 2 wishes to
transfer $1,000,000 from its current account to its
capital account.
Case 2: The same department wishes to transfer $525,000
to Economic Team B from its current account.
Operational Decisions for Specific MS Plants
4. Change District Boundaries

plant does not require that the boundaries for other

MS plants be changed unless contiguity is involved.
If the MS Department makes substantive error in any of
its redistricting decisions in a round, all the
redistricting decisions are rejected. The MS Depart-
ment in Jurisdiction 1 decides to add a previously
unserved parcel (9048) to the MS district served by the
MS plant on parcel 9036. It also wants to add parcels
9840, 9842, 10040 and 10042. These four parcels form
a "block input".
5. Change Maintenance Level
The MS Department in Jurisdiction 2 decides to raise
the maintenance level for its MS plant at 7420 to 80,
and to lower the maintenance level for its MS plant at
7630 to 85.
6. Change Employment Requests
The MS Department in Jurisdiction 2 decides to change
the labor mix for the MS plant at 7420 to 3 PL and
4 PM and to change the mix at the second level plant
at 7630 to 7 PL and 8 PM.
Capital Decisions
7. Acquire or Sell Land
Case 1: The MS Department in Jurisdiction 1 purchases
12 percent of parcel 7842 from Economic Team B for
$570,000.
Case 2: The MS Department in Jurisdiction 2 attempts
to purchase 24 percent of parcel 10032 from Outside
System owners with an unsolicited bid of $1,500,000.
Case 3: The MS Department in Jurisdiction 3 gives
12 percent of parcel 8436 to the Planning and Zoning
Department in its jurisdiction. (Note that the receiver
is designated as the decision-maker)
8. Construct an MS Plant
Case 1: The MS Department in Jurisdiction 1 wishes to
build an MS plant on parcel 8832, have a maintenance
level of 90, and hire 3 PL's and 3 PM's to work there.
Case 2: The department also decides to upgrade the
MS plant on parcel 10010 from a level 1 to a level 3
and make the new maintenance level for the entire
facility be 85 and hire 12 PL and 15 PM.
Case 3: Because of the demolition of several major
businesses within its boundaries, the MS plant at 8640
has been slated for a reduction in capacity by the MS
Department in Jurisdiction 2. It is decided that the
plant should be reduced from a level 2 to a level 1
and the maintenance reduced to 70 and employment cut
to 3PL and 2 PM.

APPENDIX A
Sequence of Computer Print-Out
Although sections of the computer output can be dis-
tributed in any order and in any combination to players,
it is printed in a fixed order with which the director
should become familiar. The overall order of output is:
1. Migration
2. Water System
3. Employment
4. Commercial Allocation
5. Social Sector
6. Economic Sector
7. Social and Economic Summaries
8. Government Detail
9. Summary Statistics
10. Maps
Within each of these major output sections there are
several subsections. An additional section of print-out
results from the processing of decisions on a data base.
That print-out, called EDIT, has no fixed sequence within
it; the order of decision input is the order in which EDIT
processes and lists player and director decisions. The
EDIT print-out is separate from the print-outs listed
above. These print-outs reflect the simulated region's
status in response to the previous year's data base and
any changes made to it through EDIT.
Each subsection of output has its own title, but on
every subsection the heading for the data base and the round
number are printed. A list of the titles of print-out
sections in the order in which they are printed and a des-
cription of each are given below and are summarized in
Figure 4.

wise, a team which has no loans outstanding as either a debtor
or a creditor does not receive a loan summary. All active

COMMERCIAL OUTPUT
The Commercial Allocation Process
All people and businesses and two government departments
purchase goods and services each round in order to function.
People and residence owners (for residential maintenance)
purchase from Personal Goods (PG) and Personal Services (PS)
establishments; businesses, schools, and municipal services
purchase from Business Goods (BG) and Business Services (BS)
establishments. The procedures for allocation of PG and
PS buyers to sellers are identical. The procedures for
allocation of BG and BS buyers to sellers are similar to
the PG and PS allocation and identical to each other. The
computer program performs the entire allocation process,
but is affected by player decisions.
Each user of goods and services requires a certain num-
ber of consumption units. A consumption unit is an expres-
sion which represents a quantity to be purchased, regardless
of what items in reality comprise that quantity. The quan-
tity of goods or services which a seller can provide is also
expressed as a certain number of consumption units. Each
seller of goods or services sets a price which must be paid
for each consumption unit purchased at his coiTjnercial esta-
blishment. Usually PG and PS prices are similar and BG and
BS prices are similar. The quantity which each buyer of
goods and services must obtain is indirectly derived from
player decisions by the computer program. The program
relates the local supply to that demand in the commercial
allocation process, which simulates the decision of each
buyer as to where it will purchase its required goods and
services.
The PG-PS allocation process is run before the BG-BS
allocation process. A description of PG allocation suffices
as a PS description.
The buyers of PG are each class living on each residence
parcel and each residence unit incurring maintenance. Pi's
buy for themselves to live; residence owners buy goods for
maintenance only. All of the same class living on the same
residence parcel purchase at the same PG; a residence owner
buys all of a single residence parcel's maintenance at the
same PG.
Each buyer of PG attempts to purchase from the PG
establishment at which it can obtain its goods most cheaply.
The buyer's cost per consumption unit (CU) is the cost per
CU at the establishment plus the least transportation cost
87
-------
per CU to get from the buyer's location to the establishment.
There are two additional factors in a buyer's perception of
a seller's price. One is the buyer's bias toward shopping
where it shopped in the previous round. The other is the
buyer's bias against shopping at an establishment which was
overused in the previous round, i.e., an establishment at
which more CU's were sold than the establishment could ade-
quately provide. There is no absolute limit on the amount
which a PG can sell, but as it sells more than its effective
capacity to provide, its service deteriorates.
Each buyer selects the PG establishment at which it
incurs the least perceived total cost. A buyer does not
even consider selecting a PG which it is boycotting. All
buyers choose simultaneously, and then reevaluate their
selections in light of the new usage. The evaluation pro-
cess is repeated until no commercial establishment changes
its usage on two successive reevaluations. The cost which
a buyer pays is the actual price at the PG which it selects
and the actual least transportation cost to get to that PG.
There is one competitor for local PG establishments:
the Outside. The Outside is treated the same as any other
PG in the allocation process, but its price is higher than
the typical local price (see Master Tables for Outside prices
and typical local prices). There is, however, no transpor-
tation cost to shop Outside, and no crowding effect. A PG
buyer purchases Outside if the Outside price is less than
its least perceived local cost to shop. The Outside has
unlimited capacity.
Output
There are four main parts to the commercial output:
PERSONAL GOODS ALLOCATION SUMMARY
PERSONAL SERVICES ALLOCATION SUMMARY
BUSINESS GOODS ALLOCATION SUMMARY
BUSINESS SERVICES ALLOCATION SUMMARY
Again, an explanation of PG applies, to a great extent,
to the other allocations.
The first section concerns PG establishments. Each PG
has a code number. The Outside is always code number one.
In the row beside the code number are the location of the
PG, its owner, development level, effective .capacity (in
CU's), the number of CU's sold, the price charged per CU,
and the PC's gross income (price per CU times CU's sold).
The Outside has no owner, level, or capacity.

The second section provides detail on all purchases of
PG. The table contains one row for ^ach purchaser of PG.
The list is ordered by residence parcel location, from left
to right and top to bottom across the board. For a single
parcel, the list is in order of residence, low-income,
middle-income, high-income. The first column contains the
code number of the PG at which the buyer is shopping. The
second column contains the coordinates of the residence
parcel and the third identifies the type of buyer on the
residence parcel (RA, RB, RC, LOW, MID, or HIGH). Next is
a single letter identifying the decision-maker controlling
the residence or class. For a residence, the letter denotes
an economic decision-maker; for a class, the letter denotes
a social decision-maker.
The number of consumption units which the buyer has
obtained is the fifth item of information. The number of
CU's required is calculated by the program but is affected
by player decisions. The calculations are different for
residential maintenance than for Pi's. A residence depre-
ciates each round in response to several factors: normal
depreciation (fixed), quality of local municipal services,
sufficiency of local water for fire protection, and floods.
Only the normal depreciation is not responsive to local
conditions. As a residence depreciates, it becomes less
attractive to people seeking housing. A residence owner can
offset depreciation by setting a maintenance level for the
residence. When the residence depreciates below that main-
tenance level, the program automatically calculates the
number of PG and PS units required to restore the residence
to the maintenance level. The values of the factors which
affect depreciation and the number of PG and PS units required
for each 1% maintenance are shown on the Master Tables. For
example, suppose that an RB had a quality index of 70 and a
maintenance level of 70, and that the Master Table showed
that RB requires 4 PG units and 2 PS units per 1% maintenance.
Suppose that the residence depreciated a total of 3% (3% of
100, not of 70). The RB would automatically purchase 3x4,
or 12 units of PG, and 3 x 2, or 6 units of PS.
The total consumption of a class living on a single
residence parcel is a function of three things: the class,
the amount of time allocated to recreation, and the number
of Pi's in the class living there. The fixed number of PG
and PS units required by a PI in each class are shown on the
Master Table. The amount of time allocated to recreation
is set by the decision-maker controlling the, class on the
parcel. The Master Table shows the number of PG and PS
units which a PI must purchase for each time unit spent in
recreation. Suppose that there are 6 PM's on a parcel and
that they have allocated 10 time units to recreation.
90
-------
Suppose further that the Master Table shows that a PM
requires 28 PG and 11 PS units per roujid, and .05 PG and
.05 PS units per time unit in recreation. The 6 PM's
would require:
28 x (10 x .05) x 6 = 84 PG units^-and 11 x (10 x .05) x 6 =
33 PS units.
The transportation cost, the six^h column, is the total trans-
portation cost which the buyer pays to obtain PG. The transportation
cost is always zero if the buyer purchases from the Outside.
The transportation costs printed for residences are dummy
costs used for the purposes of assigning residential main-
tenance purchases to PG establishments; no one ever pays that
cost.
The last two columns show the total purchase cost paid
by the buyer to the PG establishment and the total cost paid
by the buyer for the personal goods and transportation (col-
umns six plus seven).
The Personal Services Allocation Summary contains the
identical types of information regarding detail on buyers
and sellers of personal services.
The Business Goods and Business Services summaries are
also identical regarding economic sector buyers and sellers,
with a few minor exceptions in the economic sector. For one,
PG and PS buy from BG and BS in response to their sales
resulting from the personal commercial allocation. The
Master Table shows how many units of BG and BS a PG or PS
must purchase for each CU which it sells.
A basic industry requires a fixed number of BG and BS
units each round. The fixed number is the number which the
Master Table shows as being required for a level one of the
industry type. That amount times the industry's level is
the industry's fixed consumption.
Businesses depreciate annually due to several fac-
tors. Like residences, businesses may offset depreciation
through maintenance. The Master Table shows the number of
BG and BS units required per 1% maintenance for each business
type.
Business Goods and Business Services are the only
business types which never pay for operating costs and main-
tenance costs locally. They purchase from the Outside.
The major difference between the BG-BS and PG-PS
allocation processes is that BG and BS can have contracts to
provide local schools and municipal services departments
with their required goods and services. A department can

contract with several local goods and services establishments
for up to a total of 100% of its requirement. If less than
100% of a department's requirement is contracted locally,
then the rest is automatically purchased from Outside at the
Outside price. Government contracts with BG and BS esta-
blishments are made by players; they enter into the commer-
cial allocation process only in that they consume BG and BS
capacity before the other BG-BS buyers select shopping loca-
tions and thus decrease a BG's or BS's remaining capacity.
Sellers to government are assured of government purchases.
The number of units which a department consumes is the sum
of the operating needs of its facilities (number of levels
times a fixed requirement per level) and its maintenance
requirements. Both BG and BS allocation summary outputs
have a table showing where government departments are buying
BG and BS, how many units are consumed by each department,
and the total income to the BG or BS establishment for those
sales.
