Abstract
FAR (floor area ratio) is an important indicator for urban management. But now in China, FAR is basically determined by the planners with experience, which makes the authority and scientific of the urban planning been widely questioned and criticized. This article attempts to apply quantitative methods to determine the value of FAR. This research utilized the spatial analysis by Geographical Information System (GIS), combined it with geostatistics method to study the spatial distribution of FAR. We used ArcGIS software to carry out the experiment study. The case of Wuhan study shows that the result of Kriging interpolation is superior to other interpolation algorithms and it can produce the minimum forecast error. According to the cross validation table, it is considered that Kriging interpolation is the optimal method for estimation and projection of FAR.
