Abstract

In this paper we developed a method for an optimal planning to reorganize Dong offices to enhance the administrative efficiency. First we defined a mathematical model for the optimal planning problem of reorganizing Dong office and developed a genetic algorithm to solve the problem. For the purpose of minimizing standard deviation of population, area and distance among reorganized offices, the constraints such as allocation, distance, area, population, etc. are considered and weights are applied to Dong offices in the downtown and shopping area. The developed algorithm was applied for reorganizing Dong offices in Jongro Gu, Seoul. The results showed that the developed algorithm could be applied for the real world problem. This study may be applied to the optimal decision of reorganization of offices in the similar reorganization or company M&A situations by changing constraints and weights.
