Description
Summary:This paper reports the development of a new spatial simulation model of landscape dynamics - DINAMICA, which presents: (1) multi-scale vicinity-based transitional functions, (2) incorporation of spatial feedback approach to a stochastic multi-step simulation engineering, and (3) the application of logistic regression or weights of evidence to calculate the spatial dynamic transition probabilities. Applications of DINAMICA include the prediction of a region's spatial pattern evolution according to pre-defined transition rates.
