This work examines the delimitation of metropolitan areas in Canada, focusing on the Census Metropolitan Areas/Census Agglomerations(CMAs/CAs) that the Statistics Canada defines every Census year. The CMA/CA is built upon the functional-area method which is among the three approaches (i.e., density-based, land use-based, functional-area approaches) to the definition of an urban area. Importantly, the delimitation of a CMA/CA employs the Urban Area(UA) which the Statistics Canada defines via density-based and land use-based methods. In particular, the UA which has 10,000 or more residents is the urban core of a CMA/CA. Our examination of the CMA/CA in Canada also presents some points to be considered with regard to the delimitation of metropolitan areas in Korea which has yet to be implemented.

This study was conducted to compare the dietary factors which influence on the bone status of 28 women in urban and 30 women in rural area. Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline(Hpr) and Calcium(Ca) were measured as biological markers of bone resorption. Mean daily intake levels of total protein, animal protein, total calcium, calcium, calcium from milk and milk products, animal calcium, Ca / P ratio by 24 hr recall method were significantly higher in urban women. However, mean daily sodium(Na) intake levels were not significantly different between two groups. Ca Index score and Na Index score by food frequency methods were also significantly higher in urban than in rural subjects. While urinary Ca excretion elves of two groups were similar, Na excretion levels were significantly higher in rural women. Mean urniary levels of Ca / creatinine(cr) and Hpr / cr as bone status index were within normal range and not significantly different between two groups. However, prevalence of poor bone status as assessed by hydroxyproline was higher in rural women. Na Index, urinary Ca excretion and Ca / cr ratio were significantly correlated with bone status(Hpr / cr) in urban women, while only age was related to bone status in rural women. These demonstrated that high Na intake results in increased urinary excretion of Na and Ca and could cause bone resorption. Multiple regression analysis indicated that Na Index score and age have greater effect than other variables in urban women and only age has greater effect in rural women.

This study is to predict the spatial expansion of urban areas by applying CA(Cellular Automata)-Markov technique considering MCE(multi-criteria evaluation) and MOLA(multi-objective land allocation) of factor analysis. For the 10 administration districts$(3677.3km^2)$ including the whole Anseong-cheon watershed, the past six temporal land use data(1973, 1981, 1985, 1990, 1994, 2000) from Landsat satellite images were prepared. During this period, the urban area increased $233.71km^2$. Using the 36 indices composed of topological characteristics, population and land use change, the final factor map of MOLA was produced through 5 maps of MCE. Using 1990 and 1994 land use data, the 2000 predicted urban area of CA-Markov with factor map showed 0.06% improvement of absolute error comparing with that of CA-Markov without factor map. By the CA-Markov technique considering factor map, the 2030 and 2060 urban area increased $58.94km^2(0.78%)\;and\;60.14km^2(0.81%)$ respectively comparing with 2000 urban area$(313.19km^2)$. The 2030 and 2060 paddy area decreased $93.28km^2(2.54%)\;and\;93.65km^2(2.55%)$ respectively comparing with 2000 paddy area$(1383.23km^2)$.

The purpose or this study is to simulate spatially the urban expansion phenomena with a cellular automata (CA) technique using GIS. A study area, Suwon city, was selected for test of model verification and application with the classified land-use maps of three data years: 1986, 1996, and 2000. The urbanized potential maps were generated with seven criteria of one geographic factor (slope of land), and six accessibility factors (time distances from city, national road, Seoul, station, and built-up boundary), considering their weighting values, which were optimized by WSM (weighted scenario method for intensity order) combined a ranking method and a AHP technique. The optimized weighting values at the urban expansion between 1986 and 1996 were applied to verify the CA model for the other expansion between 1996 and 2000. The results of model application showed that urban sprawl phenomena of the urban expansion toward rural area can be simulated spatially and temporally with several boundary conditions considering various scenarios for the criteria and parameters of the model. Ultimately, this study can contribute to reference data for land-use planning of urban fringe areas.

도시침수는 사회 기반시설에 파괴적인 영향을 끼치고, 재산 및 인명 피해의 원인이 되므로, 고해상도 고정확도 예측 정보를 활용한 선제적 대응이 중요하다. 하지만, 기후변화로 인한 강수 강도의 증가, 도시의 확장 및 고밀화 등 토지피복 변화, 홍수방어시설의 노후화 등 여러 요인들의 복합적인 영향으로 인해 도시침수의 정확한 재현 및 예측은 여전히 난제로 남아 있다. 천수 방정식(Shallow Water Equations)을 기반으로 하는 물리과정 모형은 신뢰도 높은 예측 결과를 제공할 수 있지만, Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy 조건 등의 제약으로 인해 대규모 도시 지역의 고해상도 실시간 예측에는 적합하지 않은 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 간단한 연산 규칙의 중첩을 통해 복잡계 물리 시스템을 모의하는 셀룰러 오토마타(Cellular Automata; CA) 기술에 기반한 도시침수 해석 모형인 CA-Urban을 개발하고, 미국 Oregon 주 북서쪽에 위치한 Portland시의 도심지역에 대해 침수해석의 적용성을 평가한다. 세부적으로는, 기존 셀룰러 오토마타 기반 침수해석알고리즘의 수치 진동(Oscillation) 문제에 대한 원인을 분석하고, 안정성 향상 방법인 셀 간 최대유량 제한, 가중치 적용 기법, 모형의 계산 효율성 향상을 위한 최적 적응 시간 단계 기법(Adaptive time step)의 적용 결과를 소개한다. 또한, 침투 및 증발산 등 물순환 요소 해석 모듈의 개발 성과 및 방향에 대해서 토의한다.

Recently, various researches have been studied on the predict method of land change according to its development. The Cellular Automata(CA) is one of the most popular methods in the urban growth modeling. The basis principle of CA is to repeat operations, which convert the current cell into new cell state by the transaction rule. It will minimize the loss of data by using Fuzzy-AHP and it can lead the flexible urban growth modeling. However, AHP would have a disadvantage to repeat the procedure of the collecting intentions until it derives the weight. Also, it is necessary for the simulation of CA to repeat the operations and the test of data accuracy should be accompanied. The purpose of this study is to predict the Busan city growth model and analyze it according to the automated test method by applying CA as well as Fuzzy-AHP. This study shall improve the difficulties caused by complexity and repetitiveness in the urban grow modeling. The practical modeling could be derived from the verification, and the derived modules could be applied to the similar case studies.

Recently spatial modeling that combined GIS and Cellular Automata(CA) which are based on dynamic process modeling has been discussed and investigated. However, CA-based spatial modeling in previous research only provides the general modeling framework and environment, but lacks of providing simulation or transition rules for modeling. This study aims to propose a methodology for extracting spatial relation rules using GIS and Knowledge Discovery in Database(KDD) methods. This new methodology has great potentials to improve CA-based spatial modeling and is expected to be applied into several examples including urban growth simulation modeling.

This study predicted urban green spaces for 2020 based on two scenarios keeping or freeing the green-belt in the Daegu metropolitan city using a hybrid Cellular Automata(CA)-Markov model and analyzed the spatial dynamics of urban green spaces between 2009 and 2020 using a land cover change detection technique and spatial metrics. Markov chain analysis was employed to derive the transition probability for projecting land cover change into the future for 2020 based on two land cover maps in 1998 and 2009 provided by the Ministry of Environment. Multi-criteria evaluation(MCE) was adopted to develop seven suitability maps which were empirically derived in relation to the six restriction factors underlying the land cover change between the years 1998 and 2009. A hybrid CA-Markov model was then implemented to predict the land cover change over an 11 year period to 2020 based on two scenarios keeping or freeing the green-belt. The projected land cover for 2009 was cross-validated with the actual land cover in 2009 using Kappa statistics. Results show that urban green spaces will be remarkably fragmented in the suburban areas such as Dalseong-gun, Seongseo, Ansim and Chilgok in the year 2020 if the Daegu metropolitan city keeps its urbanization at current pace and in case of keeping the green-belt. In case of freeing the green-belt, urban green spaces will be fragmented on the fringes of the green-belt. It is thus required to monitor urban green spaces systematically considering the spatial change patterns identified by this study for sustainably managing them in the Daegu metropolitan city in the near future.

This study suggests one hypothesis: The strength of the catchment forces of urban community parks can be represented as an equilibrium point model, which is derived from a centrality index for. That model was designed by Reilly(1931) and developed by Godlund(1956). An equilibrium point model for the catchments is represented as followed formulae: m=$\frac{CA2}{CA-CB}$ m=$\frac {{{{{L SQRT {{C}_{A}$.$ {C}_{B}} {CA-CB} Here, m is distance from the center of park A to the cetner of park B. r is radius of a circle where the catchment between park A and B is equal pointed traces. CA is index of the centrality of park A from Reilly's Law. CB is an index of the centrality of park B from Reilly's Law. L is an the distance between park A and B. The equilibrium point model is testified in the case of Chong-ju community parks. The testification has been limited to the application to such manifest outdoor recreational facilities as bentches, even though there are statistically and economically problems for a quantitative model to be testified. But the testification could be a rationale for the catchment forces of urban community parks, which was quantitatively represented that the distance between two or there parks should be related with the feasibility of the parks. Therefore, the urban community park should be planned to be located, hiving separately its identity that might be considered with the facility diversification and the locational competitiveness of a park.

Land use regulations introduced for rationalization of land use due to the diversification of socio-economic development, resulting in inconvenience to the people's economic life, have recently changed the paradigm due to deregulation. In this study, the potential areas for urban growth in the Busan area were derived by simulating using the CA model and spatial characteristics were analyzed along with land use regulated areas. The analysis examined whether the land use regulations were actually intended to curb urban growth and promote the efficiency of land use, or if there were other factors that could cause inconvenience to the people's lives. The analysis showed that the greenbelt zones in areas with high development pressure outside urban areas were acting as land use regulations, but there were multiple regulations on land use in many areas. Therefore, it is deemed that various approaches and reviews will be needed, including reconsideration of multiple regulations in areas with high urban growth potential, while maintaining the net function of land use regulations.
