A Local Land Use Competition Cellular Automata Model and Its Application

A Local Land Use Competition Cellular Automata Model and Its Application

Cellular automaton (CA) is an important method in land use and cover change studies, however, the majority of research focuses on the discovery of macroscopic factors affecting LUCC, which results in ignoring the local effects within the neighborhoods. This paper introduces a Local Land Use Competition Cellular Automata (LLUC-CA) model, based on local land use competition, land suitability eval...

Integrating cellular automata Markov model to simulate future land use change of a tropical basin

Predicting land use change is an indispensable aspect in identifying the best development and management of land resources and their potential. This study used certified land-use maps of 1997, 2006, and 2015 combined with ancillary data such as road networks, water bodies and slopes, obtained from the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Surveying and Mapping in Malaysia, respectivel...

Stochastic GIS cellular automata for land use change simulation: application of a kernel based model

LEAM: Extended Cellular Automata Model of Urban Land-use Change

Cities are complex systems that arise through a complex interaction of many factors. As a result, the mechanism of urban growth and its interaction with social, economic and environmental systems are still poorly understood. Policy makers and planners often face tremendous difficulties in decision making with a lack of vision into the future of urban growth. Due to the complexity nature, cities...
