Patch-based cellular automata model of urban growth simulation: Integrating feedback between quantitative composition and spatial configuration
Abstract Urban land use change modeling can enhance our understanding of processes and patterns of urban growth that emerge from human-environment interactions. Cellular automata (CA) is a common approach for urban land use change modeling that allows for discovering and analyzing potential urban growth pathways through scenario building. Fundamental components of CA such as neighborhood configuration, transition rules, and representation of geographic entities have been examined in depth in the literature. However, trade-offs in the quantitative composition that urban gains from different non-urban land types and their dynamic feedback with the spatial configuration of urban growth are often ignored. The urban CA model proposed in this study links the quantitative composition with the spatial configuration of urban growth by incorporating a trade-off mechanism that adaptively adjusts the combined suitability of occurrence for non-urban land types based on analysis of transition intensity. Besides, a patch growing module based on seeding and scanning mechanisms is used to simulate the occurrence and spreading of spontaneous urban growth, and a time Monte Carlo (TMC) simulation method is employed to represent uncertainties in the decision-making process of urban development. Application of the model in an ecologically representative city, Ezhou, China, reveals improvement on model performance when feedback between the quantitative composition and spatial configuration of urban growth is incorporated. The averaged figure of merit and K-fuzzy indices are 0.5354 and 0.1954 with respect to cell-level agreement and pattern similarity, indicating the utility and reliability of the proposed model for the simulation of realistic urban growth.
Highlights A patch-based CA model was proposed to simulate urban growth. The CA model incorporates feedbacks between the quantitative composition and spatial configuration of urban growth. Intensity analysis was applied to address the trade-offs between transitions from non-urban land types to urban. A patch growing module was employed to simulate the spontaneous urban expansion. A time Monte Carle function was applied to manipulate the uncertainties during the decision-making of urban development.
