Abstract

This chapter presents the computer model named SIMLU to model land use spatial interaction model that distributes employment by sectors of activity and resident population and land uses across and the different areas and land aptitude of the study area, depending on factors such as distance, transport cost and aptitudes and the effect attractiveness generated in each zone. The equilibrium between demand and supply of land is made through the calibration of rents (bid-rents) for each land aptitude class in each zone.
