The Distance Pattern in Spatial Interaction Model

摘要：

Spatial Interaction Model (SIM) describing spatial flow phenomena between entities at different points in physical space is an essential method in spatially integrated social science. The paper traces the development of SIM, from the general Gravity Model, through Wilsons Family of SIMs, to Alonsos Theory of Movements. After a review of the state of the art, the paper summaries three types of distance pattern in SIM, which are gradient decay pattern for central functions, binary pattern for boundary functions and network pattern for specialized functions.
