The General Spatial Interaction Model has the form

where:

• i - parameters which characterise the propensity of each origin to generate flows;

• j - parameters which characterise the attractiveness of each destination;

• is a distance deterrence effect.

Four types:

•Double Constrained - exploring attractive properties of destinations and repulsive properties of origins

•Origin Constrained, and Destination Constrained - finding explanatory variables

• Unconstrained Model

- finding explanatory variables, and simulating

To apply the ordinary least squares fitting we make a Logarithmic transformation of

the model in a way that the the error is Normal distributed

Grouping together regions displaying similar properties,

- based on the values of:

• total inflow divided by population,

• total outflow divided by population,

• GDP per inhabitant,

• unemployment rate ( % of total workforce).

These variables are relative and are hence not influenced by the population size of the regions.

Conclusions re migration modelingConclusions re migration modeling

1) Some positive results. Some hope and possibilities for modeling.

2) Need more complete and more detailed data, - especially on the flows, e.g.

- age structure,

- educational level,

- cost of living, crime rate etc.

3) Need to explore and test application to other EU-Countries (e.g. DK, S, Fi, NL and UK)

28

SpeculationCan we link: migration -> land use change ?

e.g. look for correlation between:

population and urban area

- for major cities

- using satellite data to measure changes in urban perimeter, e.g. at 5 or 10 year intervals.

As it happens there is Project MURBANDY:

http://www.riks.nl/RiksGeo/projects/murbandy/Index.htm

29

SpeculationThen we could establish the link:

GDP -> Migration -> Land use pressure

Driving force Effect

Calibrate model using: Pop. : Urban area correlation

- probably different in different countries (different habits, housing types etc)

Improve using: - age structure of flows

- education structure of flows

30

Speculation

Ideas for index of pressure:-

Population/Urban area ?

Pop/Urban area ? = Net Flow /Urban Area

from CORINE data (grid)
