Production theory and community services planning: application to solid waste disposal
1974
Knutson, M. | Boehlje, M. | Schreiner, D.
Extract: A basic management responsibility in community service planning is to evaluate alternative methods of providing various public goods and services such as transportation services, sewage and solid waste disposal, and water for home and industry. these alternative methods frequently involve new or different technologies and various combinations of inputs such as capital and labor. the purpose of this discussion is to develop and relate the concepts of production economics to the provision of community services. the application of these concepts to the allocation of resources in solid waste disposal will provide an empirical example of the type of analysis required. these concepts should be useful to community planners and public works managers in making and justifying resource allocation decisions.
