== introduction == The EUClueScanner, based on the Land Use Scanner and the Clue model, is a framework for Land Use Modelling at a European scale.

It is available as part of the Land-Use-based Integrated Sustainability Assessment Modelling (LUISA), formerly known as Land Use Modeling Plantform (LUMP).

characteristics

  • European scale: 100 meter grid level (approximately 2.700.000.000 cells) or 1000 meter grid level (approximately 24.000.000 cells)
  • Land Use Types for urban, nature, argicultural and water
  • Claims at nuts2 or aggregated levels, resulting from other models (Leitap, Image).
  • LandUse, Environmental and Socio Economic indicators

allocation

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.
