Stefan Fina Patterns of Urban Sprawl Geographical Analysis
Notes
i
The general term used for all variations of this agency is urban entities.
ii
In contrast to these prefabricated tools, the ratio calculated here is not fixed to a rectangular study area and the
reference distribution of points used in the denominator is not based on random point patterns. It allows for the
exclusion of irregular polygons that represent undevelopable areas, and the reference point pattern is regular
because it uses a division algorithm that splits the developable part of the study are into deterministic equal
areas.

GIS algorithms to solve the task of “distributing polygons by area-weighted distance” are problematic from a
mathematical point of view.
