Abstract
Since Mandelbrot developed fractal geometry in the 1970s to overcome the difficulty in describing complex forms, applications of the fractal model have been numerous and diverse. Fractal applications in geography fall into two groups. The first group uses the fractal simulation model to generate real‐world‐like curves and surfaces for testing geographical models and algorithms. The second group of application uses the fractal dimension as an aid in describing the complexity of spatial patterns and processes. Extension of the basic fractal model into multifractals and local fractals has made the fractal model more flexible and applicable. The fractal model is a fantastic model of complexity, and its potential uses in current cutting‐edge scientific issues such as complex natural–human dynamics modeling, agent‐based simulation, and resilience system analysis should be further explored.
