Cellular Automata Based on Geographic Feature and Urban Land Use Evolvement

This paper attempts to bring the geographic feature concept including geometry and non-geometry attribute to the CA, and constructs the concept model of CA based on geographic feature, and makes a case study on land use evolvement of Shenzhen city. Two conclusions are drawn:① CA based on geographic feature is feasible because it can more truly describe geographic information, local spatial relation and evolvement rule;② the CA model of urban land use evolvement has great practical value in urban planning.
