This paper exploits recent developments in sensitivity (postoptimal) analysis in nonlinear programming and applies them to regional planning models. In particular the geometric programming point of view is used to develop sensitivity analysis procedures for entropy-maximization and accessibility models. As a result of these developments, we analyze changes in the model parameters with respect to changes in the optimal solution without resolving the model. Several examples are used to illustrate the basic procedures and some error reducing refinements.
