Simulation of urban land use change using Cellular Automata and Agent integrated model

An integrated model of Cellular Automata (CA) and Agent is proposed based on the research on the recent study of CA model and Agent model on simulation of urban land use change. This model makes a fusion of CA model´s self-organization and Agent model´s flexible computing. And a system of urban land use simulation is developed based on the model. The system makes three simulations under different scenes using data of Qingdao city. The result shows that the system can well process information of land development status, nature condition and land use policy, and can well simulation the land use change in the past 30 years of Qingdao city.
