Abstract
The most commonly known definition of an optimum land use, is the one according to which, it is such a use, which from legal and
physically possible forms of use that are „coherent with its purpose”, generates the highest land value (Kinzy, 1992). Sustainable urban
development is the optimal way to use the area, which is one in which an area is reasonably used due to the favourable and unfavourable
natural and economic. Optimal use of land then is one that offers balance between the evaluation criteria. The author developed a decision
algorithm that combines elements of the basic principles of optimizing the environmental, social and economic factors. Environmental
(natural) and social (anthropogenic) value optimization was obtained by applying the modified method using the matrix of characteristics
that cause optimal land use. Economic optimization is calculated as income optimization – maximizing income from the transformation of
land use, taking into account the costs of transition. Land value for all forms of use is determined by a positive and negative influence of
natural and anthropogenic characteristics. The author developed the optimizer (simulator) of sustainable urban development in order to
choose the rational (optimal) area allocation. It considers three aspects to determine the optimum state of use: first, the natural and
anthropogenic characteristics, second, the economic characteristics and third, the conservation of the economic – environmental balance.
The developed tool for choosing the optimal use will be extremely useful in the process of elaborating the space use plans. It will select
the most advantageous solution for the area and help develop solutions to address issues of not only economic nature, but also concerning
environmental and human needs. The concept of the optimal spatial information system will be applied to choose the function. The main
simulator application is minimizing uncertainty in the spatial planning process.
Keywords:Sustainable Urban Development; land use; optimization; algorithm for decision-making.
