Abstract

This chapter presents the book on spatial interaction models with land use that systematizes mathematically the processes of interaction between the economy and the territory, showing how environmental, technological, economic and regulatory factors influence the location of employment per sector, residences and land use per sector. The book reviews land use models, explains land aptitudes as the overlapping of alternative uses for similar environmental and infrastructural conditions, presents the spatial interaction model with land use and applies the model to simulate the historical evolution of land use, the impact of climate change on land use and, and the cost-benefit analysis of land use changes.
