A proposal is made for the solution of multiobjective, time-dependent planning problems which are essentially discrete valued. The solution procedure, based on a particular multiobjective optimality condition (developed elsewhere), is structured as a stepwise dynamic programming problem. The detailed theory of the proposed procedure is followed by a small-scale worked example which shows the application of the method.

A proposal is made for an optimality condition in regional planning problems where multiple criteria exist. This proposal is based on the relative performance of each individual criterion rather than the more usual total utility function. An example of an application is described, showing how the optimality condition might be applied in practice. Also comparisons are made in this example with a single-objective approach to the same problem to show the difference in the results obtained.
