Abstract

Physical Geography and Environmental Geoscience

Human Geography

This paper describes the results of an alternative futures analysis for implementation of a joint city/county aquifer protection plan in Albany County, southeastern Wyoming, U.S.A. The ArcView-based Community Vizâ„¢ planning support system software was used to evaluate major environmental, economic and social indicators impacted by three different scenarios: continuation of existing trends, aquifer protection, and density shift. Indicators were compared and contrasted across scenarios. Results will provide local decision makers with sound, quantifiable and reproducible information to assist in implementing future land use policy. The project was completed under phase I of the Wyoming Community Vizâ„¢ Partnership, a public / private effort to promote the use of decision support systems in planning in Wyoming.
