摘要: 地理学的实验方法先后经历了实体缩微模拟、数学实验、GIS分析、分形和细胞自动机 (CA)模拟等几个阶段 ,最后众流归一 ,发展成为以GIS为技术支持、以分形和CA为理论核心的综合集成模拟方法 ,连实体“缩微”也以数字高程模型 (DEM)的形式融汇于新的集成体系之中 从发展前景看来 ,GIS与CA的技术链接和基于GIS CA的多重智能体系 (MAS)将是重要的发展方向 ;此外 ,神经网络 (NN)和基因算法 (GA)将会与CA模拟技术结合 ,形成全新的智能化模拟技术Abstract: The experimental methods of geographical researches has different stages of development which are:1.Modelling macro material objects in micro scales;2.Mathematical experiments;3.Analyses of geographical information systems (GIS);4.Fractal and cellular automata (CA)simulation.In the end,all the methods mentioned above reach the same goal by different routes:computer based simulation.We presented that it is the main stream in the future for geographic simulation to develop metasynthetic technique by integrat...
