Methodology for Comparing Agent-based Models of Land-use Decisions
The focus of the research is mainly methodological. The goal is to develop a framework for comparing computational, agent-based models for land-use decision making. The framework will allow studying spatial patterns emerging from different distributions of agent characteristics, learning and communications schemes, initial spatial configurations, and varying spatial suitabilities. The framework...

متن کاملComparing Agent-Based Learning Models of Land-Use Decision Making
An agent-based model, incorporating a small set of primarily agent-based variables, was designed to explain private land-use decision making. Agents are landowners, who allocate their labor and land for different uses in regular time intervals. The goal is to understand what kind of spatial patterns emerge from different agent characteristics, and decision and learning mechanisms. Landscapes pr...

متن کاملLand - use choices : balancing human needs H and ecosystem function
Conversion of land to grow crops, raise animals, obtain timber, and build cities is one of the foundations of human civilization. While land use provides these essential ecosystem goods, it alters a range of other ecosystem functions, such as the provisioning of freshwater, regulation of climate and biogeochemical cycles, and maintenance of soil fertility. It also alters habitat for biological ...
