Iii. Development of Urban Growth Simulation Model Using Integration of Gis and Cellular Automata

In this research, Integration of GIS and Cellular automata modelling was used to develop a simulation model that can represent spatial distribution pattern of urban growth in Bandung Area. CA can be considered as analytical engine of GIS, which plays in important role in modelling and simulation of spatialtemporal processes. Another approach to integrate CA and GIS in this research are to develop a standalone CA program that can use data from GIS. Data interchange and compatibility can be achieved through file conversion protocols. Two scenarios were applied in urban growth cellular automata simulation model to calibrate the model. Meanwhile, Validation are comparing and evaluating of the predicted modelling results with actual data. In the first scenario, driving forces and constrained factors (slope > 15%, protected forest, open green space and water body) as an input parameter in the model simulation. Whereas, the second scenario is the simulation model will be run without slope effect as an input parameter. The best scenario from the result will be applied in model simulation and can be used to predicting spatial distribution of urban growth simulation
