Abstract

The paper reformulates the classical Transportation problem to define administrative areas in Southern Ontario. With given centres and stated constraints on the population to be served by each centre, boundaries have been delimited. The authors then develop an iterative method for relocating the centres which reduces the overall cost of the regionalisation system. Three indices for each system have been devised. The regionalisation scheme of the Ontario Hydro Commission has been used for comparative purposes.
