Abstract
A spatial interaction model is constructed to simulate the historic agricultural land-use evolution of Corvo Island, Azores. Basic ingredients for the model are the local attractiveness for the different agricultural land-use types and historic population counts from 1590 to 2001. The spatial interaction model is then used to distribute employment, residents and respective surface areas, taking into account local agricultural attractiveness and distances between the different zones. These are in turn used to generate past land-use patterns.
