| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This aided research explored functional forms of man-landcover interrelations. The basic strategy was to use landcover and topological data mashed up with cell-formed population density data.
Two factors -- human population size and relief energy: difference of minimum altitude from the maximum in a sampled area -- were picked up firstly to make elucidation of forest coverage ratio on the same site. The functional forms with sigmoidal shape were suggested by step functions fitted to one-kilometer square high precision grid-cell data in Japan. By calculating relative appropriateness to data, AIC and BIC were applied. The two-type values by step functions -- one by independent model, the other by a model that takes neighbor effect -- indicated baseline fitness indices to examine succeeding suitability of candidate functions. The best model showed best performance in common among test areas of China and Japan.
