25 A future that Resembles the Present. If we continue with business-as-usual, including healthcare, natural resources, and ecotourism, then we can expect our future to look like Following current and historical trends in: o population o employment o land use Continuing economic prominence of agriculture, healthcare, mining, warehousing, ecotourism, and service industries

26 Regional Economic Engines as Futures: Advanced Manufacturing Energy Production Renewable Energy Manufacturing Research & Development Agriculture Business & Technology Alternative Fuels Agriculture Logistics Healthcare & Life Sciences Tourism & Ecotourism generation & technology

27 A future that is Focused on Energy. If we focus on supplying technologies and goods that create energy and become energy exporters, then we can expect our future to look like Developing an alternative fuels industry based on agriculture Manufacturing and installing renewable energy technologies Using high-tech energy technologies to become an energy exporter Energy efficiency and conservation technologies

28 Regional Economic Engines as Futures: Advanced Manufacturing Energy Production Renewable Energy Manufacturing Research & Development Agriculture Business & Technology Alternative Fuels Agriculture Logistics Healthcare & Life Sciences Tourism & Ecotourism logistics & manufacturing

29 A future that is Making & Moving Goods. If we focus on employment hubs for manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing, then we can expect our future to look like Using current and future industrial areas and logistics and trade networks Maintaining high capacity transportation networks for moving goods Enhancing distribution of air cargo Connecting ports Establishing advanced manufacturing and warehousing facilities

30 Futures Modeling Employment projections are necessary to: Spatially allocate projected future employment Determine associated land use requirements Understand impacts to other aspects of scenario modeling (i.e. traffic analysis, housing demand, land use, infrastructure, etc.)

31 Example assessment of Future(s) Future: [ example Energy Economy ] < Brief description of the Future being assessed, such as: a future making and exporting energy and renewable energy technologies > Education, Workforce, & Economic Development Transportation & Land Use <Some qualitative comparison of this Future relative to the others> Environment & Natural Resources Community Resources Positive impacts: (opportunities) <Relative advantage #1> <Relative advantage #2> Negative impacts: (risks) <Relative disadvantage #1> <Relative disadvantage #2>

33 Scenario Planning vs. Resilient Region Planning Future 1: Current Economy Our current path Heartland Future Visioning Future 2: Energy Economy Future 3: Logistics Economy Future 4: Health-based Economy Potential different futures: How are they different? What do we gain? What are the tradeoffs? Resilient Region: A tool for decision-makers: Where do all futures agree? Where do they disagree? Maximize potential opportunities? Minimize potential risks?

44 LUCIS and Scenario Modeling Land Use Conflict Identification and Subsequent Spatial Allocation of Future Development

45 LUCIS Land Use Conflict Identification Strategy Main Purpose Highlight where potential conflicts may occur in the future between competing uses of the land agriculture, conservation, urban Scenario planning and visioning tool Incorporates Land use suitability analysis a process of identifying the most appropriate location and distribution of future land uses Community and expert input to establish goals, objectives and sub-objectives prioritize model outputs in the final analysis

46 Review: Scenarios and Scenario Planning Present Business-as-Usual, Trend Scenario Alternative Future

47 Example Suitability Mapping Identify lands physically suitable for residential development Hazardous Sites Air Quality Flood Soils Noise Physically Suitable for Residential Development

48 Review: Alternative Future Scenario Modeling Ecological significance (examples) Water recharge Large mammal corridors Watershed protection Bird and animal habitat Etc. The weighting process happens here. Suitability becomes local Preference.

49 LUCIS: Area-based and Economic Weights Three weights combine: Land Use, Economic, and Technical

50 Combine into Aggregate Suitability Surface 10.5% 6.4% 15.7% 12.7% 11.1% 35.2% 8.3% Note: These are the actual weights for urban suitability * ( TIP: Follow the asterisk through the next few slides. )
