Abstract

A method serving as a catalyst and tool for improving the fundamental processes vital to a community by applying a quantitative, interlaced, simultaneous, multi-disciplinary, systems engineering approach to improve and maximize achievement of goals and processes occurring within a city or greater extended community, such as, a large watershed area. The method involves a specifically designed facility, a computer-based mathematical model, and an exemplary methodology for public participation based on the mathematical relationship and interdependencies of the educational activity, economic development, ecological preservation, environmental issues, research activity, and entertainment and recreation activity of the community.

Claims

1. A method for simultaneously improving educational, economic, ecosystem, environmental, and research processes in concert within a community by creating a public facility for the community in proximity to a body of water, comprising the steps of:

(a) calculating a total desired community profile variable representing the community'"'"'s desired educational activities, economic development activities, ecosystem preservation activities, environmental issues and projects, research activities, and entertainment and recreational activities;

(b) calculating a total desired facility profile variable representing a facility'"'"'s desired educational activities, economic development activities, ecosystem preservation activities, environmental issues and projects, research activities, and entertainment and recreational activities;

(c) generating a simultaneous summation of said total desired community profile variable and said total desired facility profile variable;

(d) using said simultaneous summation to design, evaluate, profile, and configure a public facility for the community in proximity to a body of water; and

(e) constructing said public facility for the community in proximity to a body of water;

wherein said steps (a) through (d) are carried out by use of a computer system.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said public facility is selected from a group consisting of a community center, church, rehabilitation center, public service center, government building, and school.

3. A public facility located in proximity to a body of water as created by the method of claim 1.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein said means for evaluating a plurality of coefficients for the community, said means for evaluating a plurality of coefficients for a facility, said means for summing said coefficients for the community with said coefficients for said facility, said means for evaluating one or more interdependencies between said coefficients for the community and said coefficients for said facility, and said means for designing a public facility for the community according to said summation and said one or more interdependencies comprise a computer system.
