Modèle de croissance urbaine : l’exemple de Rouen

Le modèle repose sur l’idée selon laquelle la croissance urbaine, mais aussi de nombreux autres processus géographiques, peuvent s’expliquer par des règles spatiales simples, formulées à partir de nos connaissances empiriques mais néanmoins explicatives de la dynamique spatiale car résultant de la pratique sociale.
Ce modèle, de type automate cellulaire, est construit sur un paradigme très général, qui déborde du cadre de la modélisation urbaine, celui de la concurrence spatiale entre (...)

CalCom: Calculating the Attractiveness of Retail Clusters

Author of the model: Cécile Tannier (ThéMA, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France)
Creation date: 2000
CalCom is a decision making tool designed for calculating the [hyp222; attractiveness] of retail clusters of a city for several types of retail outlets looking for a convenient settlement site. The [hyp184; model] has been calibrated for French towns which size is comprised between 100 000 and 1 000 000 of inhabitants.
CalCom is based on a fuzzy formalisation of the evaluation of the (...)

SimNoise: Simulating the Impact of Noise Annoyance on Intra-urban Residential Migration

Authors of the model: Cécile Tannier and Hélène Houot (ThéMA, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France)
Creation date: August 2003
The goal of the SimNoise model is to evaluate the impact of traffic noise on residential [hyp209; location dynamics]. It allows the calculation of the probability that the agents living in a given spatial unit will leave this location because of traffic noise.
The mathematical formalisation of the SimNoise model is of a probabilistic nature. The basis for (...)

Peuplement: Simulation of Size Differenciated Urban Growth

Author of the model: Jean-Luc BONNEFOY (University of Aix-Marseille, France)
Creation date:
initial: 2001
of this version: 2001
Starting from a pattern of cities of identical sizes, the model shows differentiated urban growth in a space where the flow of migrants is either constant or variable. The model is of interest because it shows the relative speed with which urban differentiation emerges with respect to two variables:
the role of the positions (rank) of the cities,
the wages. (...)

SimLucia: climate change and dynamic land use planning in St. Lucia

A decision support system for the vulnerability assessment to climate change and dynamic land use planning in St. Lucia, West Indies
The long term objectives of this project are to develop a methodology and operational procedure applicable on the level of the individual coastal country or island
(1) to describe and analyse the impacts of climate change on their territory, their ecosystems, their social systems and their economic activities,
and (2) to provide instruments or tools to design, (...)

Accessim (French version)

AccesSim est un outil pédagogique permettant de simuler les déplacements des individus. L’objectif de ce travail est de montrer que la répartition spatiale des services ou équipements est le plus souvent inégale, et que leur [hyp30; accessibilité] est différente selon les territoires.
AccesSim permet de tester et d’expérimenter, avec la simulation informatique, la fréquentation de boulangeries dans un contexte urbain.
Il simule en temps réel le comportement d’agents :
des agents (...)

Anaplaste : Cartogram Software (in French)

Auteur de l’application : Gilles Vuidel (ThéMA, Besançon, France) d’après l’algorithme développé par O. Kapps
Conception de la méthode : C. Schneider (LIVE, Strasbourg, France)
Programmation originelle : G. Cherrier et J. Hirsch (LIVE, Strasbourg, France).
Méthode
Le logiciel Anaplaste permet de déformer une carte composée d’entités surfaciques en fonction d’une variable thématique quantitative et de produire une carte « piézoplèthe » (famille des cartogrammes).
Le (...)
