Abstract

Urban potential is a quantitative indicator to measure the urban spatial interaction. It is used to describe the interaction force exerted to any place in the region, while taking into consideration that the interaction force is produced jointly by all the other surrounding cities. Urban population potential is the potential that is measured and indicated by urban population. GIS usually uses points to represent the spatial locations of cities and uses the point attribute field to store their urban population information. Therefore, the most convenient way to simulate urban population potential is to build a spatial analysis model based on the relevant point data. Obviously, this method has some disadvantages: on one hand, urban point data represented by latitude-longitude pattern in national fundamental geographic information datasets does not coincide with the urban population centroids in reality;on the other hand, most cities are usually composed of a variety of mutually separated urban land-use patches and these patches interact with each other within their urban precincts. To overcome the impacts of these disadvantages, this study has designed a simulation technology solution of urban population potential based on urban land-use patches. It takes the independent urban patches as the basic spatial analysis units and propose a method to divide grades for those urban patches in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Then, a time-consuming grid surface of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is established. The numerical simulation of the urban population potential in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is realized by making use of ArcGIS platform and modeling techniques of python accordingly. The method based on urban land-use patches could overcome the deficiency that the urban points do not coincide with urban population centroids in reality and it could reflect the spatial interactions of urban interior patches. Moreover, the simulation of urban population potential has further satisfied the requirements toward refinement.
