EUClueScanner
== introduction ==
The EUClueScanner, based on the Ruimtescanner and the [http://www.ivm.vu.nl/en/Organisation/departments/spatial-analysis-decision-support/Clue/index.aspx 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 ([https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/luisa 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.
== partners == The EUClueScanner has been developed in two projects, commissioned by:
- [https://ec.europa.eu/environment/index_en DG Environment of the European Commission]
- [https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/about/jrc-site/ispra JRC-IES] in Ispra
