ABSTRACT

Since the pioneering work of Lowry in the 1960s, many urban models have developed to understand how urban systems work and change. Early urban models tend to focus on the relationship and interaction between land use and transportation, but recent urban models pay more attention to urban morphology with an interest on self-organising nature of urban systems. Agent based urban modelling approach is gaining popularity as a new means to study an urban systems in this context. This study aims to develop an agent based urban model as a new scientific tools to understand changes in urban systems and to support planning policy making. The study introduces urban economic theory and analysis into the angent based modelling framework. We then developed a model by using an open source programming platform, Repast Simphony. The model was applied to a case study area of Busan Metropolitan Area(Busan, Gimhae, Yangsan) to see if it properly works and generates valid simulation outcomes. We has confirmed that the model offers new and meaningful ways to understand urban future.
