Land development and amenities: A predator-prey interaction
Abstract. How land development in the form of land improvements and locational amenities interact in time, at any point in space characterized as a tourist area, is the topic of this rather brief investigation. The strong, non linear, interactive dynamics between the two entities is viewed in a general ecological predator-prey formulation, under a series of scenarios. Mildly cyclical and eventually unstable dynamics are portrayed under numerical simulation to be perhaps the most likely of the various scenarios explored. Windows of opportunity for governmental intervention are shown to exist, in the case where complex scale effects and significant externalities take place between the two. This paper presents an effective framework to fruitfully examine issues of sustainable development.
