Abstract
This paper introduces a model that identifies spatial relationships for a structural analysis based on the concept of simplicial complex. The spatial relationships are identified through overlapping two map layers, namely a primary layer and a context layer. The identified spatial relationships are represented as a simplical complex, in which simplices and vertices represent respectively two layers of objects. The model relies on simplical complex, a key concept in Q-analysis for overall structure analysis. To quantify structural properties of individual primary objects (or simplices), we define a set of measures by considering multidimensional chains of connectivity. With the model, the interaction and relationships with a geographic system are modeled both from local and global perspectives. The structural properties and modeling capabilities are illustrated with some examples.
