浅论CA模型与区域空间研究

A Study on the Regional Spatial Structure Science Based on the Theory and Way (CA Models) of Complex Science

地理学是一门研究地球表层自然要素与人文要素相互作用和关系 ,及其时空规律的科学。区域地理学一直是地理学的重要分支。本文简要指出了区域科学的研究趋势逐渐由静态的、均衡的方式向动态演化的方式转变 ,并开始应用复杂科学的理论和方法来研究和分析区域问题 ,从而形成复杂区域科学研究阶段。在简单介绍了复杂科学理论知识的基础上 ,详细综述了复杂科学的研究方法之一的CA模型及其特征 ,国内外运用CA模型对城市—区域空间动态模型研究的现状与进展 ,以及未来复杂区域科学发展的趋势。

This paper basically reviews the development of regional science and emphasizes the fact that more and more researchers gradually begin to treat region as an open, evolutionary, non linear complex system. The research tendency of regional science has changed from static, equilibrium paradigm to dynamic, evolutionary paradigm, which makes use of sciences of complexity to study and analyze the regional problems and its rules of spatial temporal evolution. Moreover, this paper discusses the other primary issues of spatial complexity and potential ways of approaching these problems,such as multi agent model based on the theory of complex adaptive systems and expounds the development of urban spatial dynamic model based on CA model, and speculation of future complicated regional science.
