The Location Model Results

The following section presents the results from the various Location models that have been created for this research. Individual model components will be explored thus highlighting the sensitivities of the model and how choices made in the design of the location model affect the outcomes of land-use within the system. The results within this section only highlight specific model scenarios in mainly visual terms additionally supplemented with summary statistics where appropriate. The structure is:

• The Effects of Space and Income
• Doubling the amount of Space
• Altering the initial placement of agents
• Comparing the Effect of Small Areas
• The Effect Different Size Areas
• No Small Area Model
• Varying Income
• Adding Agents
• Modelling Top-Down Policy
• Adding Density to the Equation
  • Experiments with Density
