The application of fractal geometry at the analysis of the urban development patterns has been widely investigated during the last two decades, providing further evidence that cities are complex and emergent structures . The fractal dimension of an urban area is an extremely useful indicator of...

This study explores the dynamics of urban sprawl through the application of DYNAMA, a Cellular Automata (CA) based model. The model simulates the urban land use expansion process in a disaggregated field of land units taking into account a set of local characteristics of cells and neighborhood...
