Abstract
MAS(Multi-agent System) is a new modeling method developed in recent years. This article aims to use MAS technology to simulate the development process of urban land. Five factors, which may have impact on the choices of agents, are defined. Spatial analysis and multi-factor evaluation technique is employed to determine the weights and utility value for each factors. On the basis of an MAS platform named RePast, combining with other open source GIS component, the model proposed is implemented through second development using Java language. Finally, the status quo of Wuhan City in 2003 as initial value, future land-use changes are simulated. The result of primary experiment seems promising, and the outcome of model simulation is interpretable and reasonable. So we can conclude that MAS can be used to simulate urban land development, and the simulation results will provide decision basis for urban managers.
