Notes
  • While residential land use change is ubiquitous in Tijuana, it is not a random process. The presence of commercial or industrial land uses, for example, can make certain areas more or less desirable places to live. This can affect the socioeconomic character of a neighborhood and influence the amount of investment people are willing to put into homes in that location. The purpose of this study is to examine features of the built and physical landscape which affect change in residential land use. With an understanding of these features, a predictive model of residential land use change is developed. The predictive capacity of the model is then tested against observed residential land use change in Tijuana between 1980 and 1994. This project attempts to model residential land use change between 1980 and 1994. By comparing the model's predicted 1994 land use with actual 1994 land use it is possible to uncover and assess explanatory variables.
