Location analysis of islands to waterways based on islands spatial interaction model

Abstract

Waterway is a kind of narrow water area which connects mainland or islands. It acts the role of channel or passage, as the only path through some area. Usually, waterways exist with the islands nearby in the sea. So the spatial relationship between islands and waterways is very important. In this paper, spatial interaction model is used to describe the relationship and the importance of the location of islands in research area is analyzed.
