Introduction:
The EUClueScanner, based on the Land Use Scanner and Clue, is a framework for Land Use change modelling at a European scale. The EUClueScanner is developed in two projects, commissioned by:
Keywords:
- European scale: 1000 meter grid level (approximately 2.700.000.000 cells) or 100 meter grid level (approximately 24.000.000 cells)
- Land use classes for urban, nature, argicultural and water
- Claims at nuts2 or aggregated levels, resulting from other models (Leitap, Image).
- Double constrained land use model, based on random utility theory and discrete allocation, based on combinatoric optimization of land use
- LandUse, Environmental and Socio Economic indicators
- Maps, Tables
Allocation methods
The discrete allocation method is used to generate an allocation with maximum total suitability within the constraints of the regional Land Use claims. The method is applied in small time steps of one year, taking into account both static and dynamic factors in order to model (long term) investments and natural succession processes.
