Application of spatial analysis to the research of real estate:taking Beijing as a case
空间分析方法在房地产市场研究中的应用——以北京市为例

In social and environmental sciences,researchers are interested in the analysis and modeling of the spatial data.Unlike ordinary data,the locations of the observation are also concerned as well as the values relating to the objects in spatial data analysis.Real estate has gone through a dramatic growth in China these years,and there were a lot of researches on the development of real estate.But most of the studies just considered the social and economic attributes of the real estate.The location of the real estate was not fully considered.With the development of the Geographical Information Sciences(GISc),the theories and methods about spatial dada analysis developed too.And there are more tools and softwares focused on spatial analysis,which improved the application of the spatial data analysis.In this paper,the way of spatial data analysis,such as point pattern analysis,spatial correlation analysis and spatial interpolation were recommended and used in the study about the real estate in Beijing,the capital of China.By using the quadrat analysis,nearest neighbor analysis and Ripley's K function,the clumped pattern of the real estate in Beijing is found.The Moran's I,which is often used to test the spatial autocorrelation,also suggests that there is significant spatial autocorrelation in the price of the house in Beijing.This means that the research about the price of the house in Beijing must concern about this important characteristic.By use of ordinary kirging,the spatial pattern of the house price in Beijing was simulated,and the results also show that the price has some interesting relationship with the development of the city itself.
