Abstract

Predicting movement between two locations remains a challenge in GIScience. Many models have been developed based on random walks, but these models fail to account for structural heterogeneity that impedes movement potential. Here, a model is developed for estimating movement probabilities between two points combining ideas from Hägerstrand's time geography and popular GIS-based cost-path analysis tools. The outcome is a model for estimating movement probabilities in space-time prisms where movement occurs across a heterogeneous spatial lattice. The application of the model in the eld of movement ecology is
likely to oer new potential for studying animal space-use patterns.
