Abstract/Summary This chapter presents a logistic based cellular automata model to simulate the continuous process of urban growth in space and over time. The model is constructed based on an understanding from empirical studies that urban growth is a continuous spatial diffusion process which can be described through the logistic function. It extends from previous research on cellular automata and logistic regression modelling by introducing continuous data to represent the progressive transition of land from rural to urban use. Specifi cally, the model contributes to urban cellular automata modelling by (1) applying continuous data ranging from 0 to 1 inclusive to represent the none-discrete state of cells from non-urban to urban, with 0 and 1 representing non-urban and urban state respectively, and all other values between 0 and 1 (exclusive) representing a stage where the land use is transiting from non-urban to urban state; (2) extending the typical categorical data based logistic regression model to using continuous data to generate a probability surface which is used in a logistic growth function to simulate the continuous process of urban growth. The proposed model was applied to a fast growing region in Queensland’s Gold Coast City, Australia.
