Modelling, Analysis and Simulation of a Spatial Interaction Model

摘要

This paper reviews the theoretical backgrounds and formal structure of Gravity Models for Spatial Interaction Behaviour, as they build the foundation for the developed Migration Model. Furthermore the qualities and possibilities as well as the limits of these models are examined. Based on this a Migration Model is introduced, which is implemented to simulate Migration Movement into and within Europe. This can be used to analyse migration behaviour in general and in terms of influencing parameters.
