Post modern comfort as a factor in gentrification of city, modeled in Cellular Automata

The aim of this study is to investigate the discrete factors of gentrification modeled by cellular Automata. The gentrification is the arriving of middle and high social classes in the inner-city areas. It corresponds to the residential mobility of solvent households, attracted by residential comfort and the central retailing equipment. The proximity, diversity and quality of this equipment become criteria of the residential choice, as important as the criterion of the residential comfort. The cellular automata in this study, models the constituents of post modern comfort in residence, its environment and the centrality which altogether and simultaneously make the city inhabitants aspiration. During the spatiotemporal change, the aspiration in central parts of city is studied. Keyword: Gentrification; Cellular Automata; Complex System, postmodern comfort.
