"Simulation Models on Human–Nature Interactions in Urban
Landscapes: A Review Including Spatial Economics, System
Dynamics, Cellular Automata and Agent-based Approaches"
Figure 1: Main components (human sphere, land use, natural resources) and relationships (1 – 4)
which describe human–nature interactions in urban regions: (1) Impact of human sphere on land
use, (2) feedback of land use on human sphere, (3) impact of land use on environment (including
ecosystems) and (4) feedback of environment on human sphere.
