地学计算的研究进展与问题分析   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

对西方地学计算的起源、概念、知识体系以及存在争议的问题进行了概括地介绍和评述。地理计算的发展动因在于探索空间复杂性的需要,发展源流则在于计算科学,技术主线可以归结为：计算机科学→计算科学→计算地理学→地理计算科学。地理计算与地理信息系统(GIS)具有密切关系,需要运用定量地理学的全套工具,横跨自然、人文两大领域,可望成为一个全新的知识领域,甚至有可能发展出一种新的研究范式。地理计算科学在西方发展迅速,但也存在一些令人不安的问题,其中之一便是缺乏知识建构的核心。由于地理计算具有超越地理学的意向和趋势,本文建议以计算地理学为主体之一,以“利用模型寻求理解”为原则,建立一个相对收敛的知识体系。  相似文献

Extending agent-based land-use/-cover change models to tropical deforestation: a focus on farm-based decision making in tropical subsistence farming     

Kondwani G. Munthali  Yuji Murayama 《International journal of geographical information science》2013,27(10):1881-1895

Subsistence agriculture continues to be the mainstay activity in most tropical regions, and opinions on how it impacts tropical deforestation vary significantly. The sparse literature available on subsistence farm-based models highlights the existing methodological gap in the ability of present-day agent-based models (ABMs) to simulate the impact of subsistence production on frontier tropical deforestation. Though issues concerning agent specification and its variability have been successfully dealt with, gaps exist in the explicit incorporation and articulation of linkages of subsistence production and consumption theories on the one hand and frontier tropical deforestation on the other hand. This demands explicit determination of the decision-making process and the objective functions for subsistence farmers. Once simulated, the trajectories of deforestation and its trigger mechanisms can be understood. Overall, farm-based ABMs have the potential to allow insightful understanding of the small and slow individual homogeneous subsistence practices that have resulted in massive deforestation in the tropics.  相似文献
