<p> This paper is concerned with developing a methodology for identifying
and measuring the dimensions of community opposition to externality-generating public facilities. It critically reviews the traditional
modelling approaches to public facility location. The methodology, by which the dimensions of facility impact might be established for incorporation into political decision-making models of
facility location, is then proposed. The results of a pilot empirical
test of this methodology, using techniques of non-metric Multidimensional Scaling for the analysis of individuals' perception's, indicate the types of dimensions which might be derived from the application of the methodology to questions concerning public facility location. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
