To determine how zone boundary configurations affect spatial interaction model parameters and performance, and to develop an optimization approach for constructing zoning systems.
Formulated an optimization technique designed to identify zoning systems that maximize spatial interaction model performance in applied contexts.
Tested and validated the zoning optimization methodology through a series of empirical case studies.
Zoning system selection exerts a nontrivial influence on parameter values and overall model performance, with effect magnitudes substantially exceeding previous expectations.
The proposed optimization methodology successfully identifies zoning systems that approximately optimize model performance across empirical applications.
