Exploring the Relationship between Urbanization and Ikization

Abstract

The phenomenon of Iks was first found by anthropologists and biologists, but it is actually a problem of human geography. However, it has not yet drawn extensive attention of geographers. Based on the relationship between urbanization and ikization, this paper is devoted to constructing a model to explain ikization. The research methods include literature-based analogy, mathematical modeling, empirical analysis, and numerical experiments. The main findings are as follows. First, the generalized production function can be used to model the behavior of ikization resulting from dramatic changes in the geographical environment and sudden cultural rupture. Second, nonlinear replacement dynamic models can be used to explain the possibility of rapid urbanization leading to ikization. Observational data is utilized to verify the fast urbanization mode, and numerical experimentation is employed to reveal the possible key factor causing ikization. The principal conclusions can be reached that social transition should adopt a relatively mild approach to changing, and protecting the geographical environment and reviving traditional culture contribute to national sustainable development.
