Exploring the relationship between urbanization and Ikization
Lv Ye, Yanguang Chen

TL;DR
This paper investigates how rapid urbanization can lead to ikization, a social decline caused by environmental and cultural disruption, using quantitative analysis and mathematical modeling.
Contribution
It presents a hypothesis linking sudden geographical changes to ikization and employs the theory of replacement dynamics to model this process.
Findings
Urbanization can cause ikization through abrupt environmental and cultural changes.
Mathematical modeling shows nonlinear relationship between urbanization and ikization.
Protecting environments and cultural inheritance can prevent 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. In this paper, a hypothesis of ikization is presented that sudden and violent change of geographical environments results in dismantling of traditional culture, which then result in collective depravity of a nationality. By quantitative analysis and mathematical modeling, the causality between urbanization and ikization is discussed, and the theory of replacement dynamics is employed to interpret the process of ikization. Urbanization is in essence a nonlinear process of population replacement. Urbanization may result in ikization because that the migration of population from rural regions to urban regions always give rise to abrupt changes of geographical environments and traditional culture. It is…
