ABSTRACT
The Industrialist's Manual No. 2, People's Pulp Plant
(Air
is part of a set of 21 manuals (AA 001 009-001 029) used in APEX
Pollution Exercise), a computerized college and professional level
"real world" game simulation of a community with urban and rural
problems, industrial activities, and air pollution difficulties. The
first two sections, which are the same in each of the student manuals
(volumes 1 to 19), contain general information about the APEX
interaction simulation and a glossary of reference terms. The
remaining sections contain the following: industrialist's role
description; annotated industrialist's worksheet; a sample
industrialist's worksheet; background information for industrialist's
role; an annotated printout for cycle one; and a map of the 29 APEX
analysis areas. The manual is identical to the other industrialist's
manuals, except for the last two sections. The game simulation
in
procedure and required computer facilities are further described

and discuss the struc-
participants the opportunity to study, work with,
1-2
ture of such a system and to experiment with intervention strategies de-
signed to change that structure. When used as a teaching device, the
strength of a gaming-simulation such as APEX lies in the opportunity
afforded participants for involvemnt in the system. When compared with
the passive observation of the system offered by traditional methods,
this approach has had great success.
In theory, complex gaming-simulation of the APEX variety is
more
than a training device or communications facilitator. If the models
were
more sophisticated the data base more accurate and more complete, a com-
plex gaming-simulation would be a policy testing device for
use by prac-
ticing urban politicians, planners, APCO's and administrators. Conditional
predictions (predictions based on the partictuar policies and/or decisions
submitted to the model) of the ramifications of various decisions
can be
generated through the use of a complex gaming-simulation
-- predictions
that may forewarn the model user of unforeseen reactions to policy at
several levels of the urban hierarchy ranging from that of the highest
level.
The gamed environment is similar to that found in a typical midwest-
ern industrialized town. (In fact, the prototype city is Lansing, Michigan).
It has a population approaching 220,000 including several of minority
groups sharing racial or ethnic ties. There is a relatively dense central
city in the heart of the county, an adjacent suburb and two outlying
townships. Most of the industry is located in the central city (as
are
the minority groups). Major firms include a large auto plant and the
state
government offices. The suburb houses a major university. The townships
are largely agricultural, although urbanizing settlements are dotting
the landscapes. There is a major river running through the city serving
as the primary drainage system for the county. The climate of APEX is
temperate, with summer temperatures averaging about 70 degrees and winter
temperatures averaging near 25 degrees. Prevailing winds are westerly,
swinging to the southwest in summer and northwest in winter.
For the purposes of the gaming exercise, APEX county is divided into
29 analysis areas (see the attached
map, Section 9). Population, employ-
ment and land use will be allocated to the areas and are categorized by
types established especially for APEX. These types are described in the
glossary included in this manual (Section 2) a glossary designed to aid
participants in learning the terminology of urban and environmental
management as well as that of the gaming exercise.
