Abstract
A geographic information system (GIS) - based on spatial analysis - was developed for optimizing the SO2 total emission cut scheme on air pollution in Bor (Serbia), combined with Models-3 modeling system and linear programming model. GIS is mainly used for establishing a multifactor assessment model to quantitatively divide environmental functional zone and also used for selecting control sites in linear programming model. A linear programming model was developed to optimize the emission determined by SO2 control measures. According to the obtained results, some large emissions need to be cut for about 50%. The improvement of the ecological environment is urgently needed for controlling the background SO2 pollution in Bor. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
