Socio-Economic Planning Sciences

Socio-Economic Planning Sciences is an international journal devoted exclusively to the application of quantitative analysis to interdisciplinary decision problems arising in the areas of socio-economic planning and development. It provides a medium for research which might not appear in more specialized journals, either because of the interdisciplinary or applied character of the study, or the mathematical/ quantitative nature of the research. The journal strongly encourages contributions dealing with decision problems in the service and public sectors. Of particular interest are studies carried out in economically emerging regions of the world. Review articles in important methodological and substantive areas are also of interest. Typical topics include: studies directed towards the more effective utilization of existing resources; studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology; studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social health and other human services.

Studies in Regional Science

Journal of the Japan Section of the RSAI

(Part A: Policy and Practice)

(Part B: Methodological)

Transportation Research: Part A contains papers of general interest in all passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems. Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. Case studies, survey and expository papers are included, as are articles which contribute to unification of the field, or to an understanding of the comparative aspects of different systems. Papers which assess the scope for technological innovation within a social or political framework are also published. The journal is international, and places equal emphasis on the problems of industrialized and non-industrialized regions.

Transportation Research: Part B publishes papers on all methodological aspects of the subject, especially those which require mathematical analysis. The general theme of the journal is the development and solution of problems which have a substantial connection with real transportation situations. Purely mathematical exercises, which could relate to any kind of network, are excluded. For example, papers on algorithms must show a relevance to transportation. Areas covered include: demand analysis, whether economic or statistical; traffic flow models; design and analysis of transportation networks; methods of operations planning; control and scheduling; optimization in transportation; queuing theory as it applies to transportation; traffic assignment and trip distribution; economic theory.

Urban Studies

Urban Studies was established in 1964 to provide an international forum for the discussion of issues arising in the field of urban and regional planning. Regular contributions are drawn from the fields of economics, planning, political science, demography, statistics, geography, sociology and public administration. The Journal also publishes the occasional 'state of the art' article, consisting of an analytical review of the major strands of contemporary thinking in a given topic area, supported by an extended bibliography of the topic. Urban Studies thus deals with every kind of urban and regional problem that can be tackled by the social sciences or other related modes of systematic analysis. This includes problems ranging from optimal city size, local and regional economies and transport patterns to urban housing, employment, race, politics and crime. Although most articles deal with problems located in the advanced industrial societies of Europe and the Americas, increasing numbers of articles dealing with similar issues in Asia, the Third World and Eastern Europe are appearing in every issue.
