In-Depth Information
1.1 Specify a Spatiotemporal Framework
Raster: Extent and resolution
The seven county TCMA, 100 meter
Vector: Scale and spatial unit
Cities and townships, housing submarkets
Temporal: Duration and resolution
2005-2007, one year
Preparation
1.2 Generate the Geographic Context
Regional Housing Market
Existing vacant houses, new houses, and their
main characteristics
Land Use Regulations
Current and planned land use
2. Populate Actor Agents
Number of Actor Agents
A certain percentage of households
Locations of Actor Agents
Random, but constrained by land use and
population distribution
Attributes of Actor Agents
Initial pressure for migration
Model
Calibration
3. Run the Model
Inter-Agent Actions
None
Agent-Context Actions
Migrate, generate/fill vacancies, change
pressure for relocation
Context Dynamics
Add new houses, update vacancy list
4. Analyze the Model Output
Results
Migration data with origin / destination
Verification
Inner-migration rates comparison
Validation
Syrjala test, minimum spanning tree techniques
