Abstract
A method for defining a metropolitan area based on a regional inter-city flow intensity measurement model includes the following steps: 1. determining an urban agglomeration regional range to be measured and inter-city flow associated cities; 2. measuring, according to the determined associated cities, itemized regional inter-city flow intensities of each group of the associated cities; 3. calculating through weighing, according to the itemized regional inter-city flow intensity values, integrated inter-city flow intensities and membership degrees thereof between a central city and other associated cities; 4. recording the above data into an ArcGIS library, and establishing a regional inter-city flow database through association between spatial data and table data. 5. performing four groups of naturally intermittent type clustering analysis on data in the established regional inter-city flow database, and finally determining the range of a metropolitan area in a narrow sense and in a broad sense.
