Abstract
People are accustomed to taking spatial similarity relation as a qualitative factor to describe the geographic space (Guo 1997); therefore whether the quantitative values of spatial similarity relations calculated by the proposed models coincide with human’s spatial cognition is worth validating so that the questions like “Are the similarity degrees calculated by the models the same as that of my recognition?” and “Are the calculated similarity degrees acceptable by most people?” can be answered. For this purpose, this chapter focuses on validating the ten models proposed in Chap. 4, aiming at proving that the models are acceptable to majority of people.
