Study of differences in urban growth models CA-MARKOV, CLUE-S and SLEUTH

Abstract

The social and economic factors had affected the urban growth pattern, cause a high density of settlement and business district. The development and management of urban growth become important and many urban growth models were developed nowadays. So, the study was conducted to compare the difference of urban growth models CA-MARKOV, CLUE-S and SLEUTH. These urban growth models can simulate the urban growth pattern and can be applied to others context area, use data analysis factors that can be easily collected and accessed. The study found that the urban growth pattern of these three models is not much difference because the analysis method of these models is to analyze the change of area in each time. The difference is the equation of models, the CLUE-S has advantage because the model has analyzed the relationship between landuse and other factors. The CA-MARKOV has analyzed the relationship of each nearby landuse. And the SLEUTH has analyzed the relationship of urban, transportation routes and slope.
