This book describes a comprehensive framework of novel simulation
approaches, conventional urban models, and related data mining
techniques that will help develop planning support systems in
Beijing as well as other mega-metropolitan areas. It investigates
the relationships between human behaviors and spatial patterns in
order to simulate activities in an urban space, visualize planning
alternatives, and support decision making. The book first explains
urban space using geometric patterns, such as points, networks, and
polygons, that help identify patterns of household and individual
human behavior. Next, it details how novel simulation
methodologies, such as cellular automaton and multi-agent systems,
and conventional urban modeling, such as spatial interaction
models, can be used to identify an optimal or a simulated solution
for a better urban form. The book develops a comprehensive land use
and transportation integrated model used to explore the spatial
patterns of mutual interaction between human mobility and urban
space. This model can help forecast the distribution of different
types of households, rent prices, and land prices, as well as the
distribution of routes and traffic volume based on an appraisal of
labor demand and supply. This book shows how geospatial analysis
can be a useful tool for planners and decision makers to help in
ascertaining patterns of activities and support urban planning.
Offering both novel and conventional approaches to urban modeling,
it will appeal to researchers, students, and policy makers looking
for the optimal way to plan the d evelopment of a mega-metropolitan
area.
