Land Use Scanner Student Edition

The Land Use Scanner Student Edition is an application of the land Use Scanner that simulates the Netherlands in a 500m grid using the Continuous Allocation model.

It uses the same GeoDms software as the full versions of the Land Use Scanner but has different source data and model configuration files. The Student Edition (svn revision 2317, dd 23-12-2011) is known to be working with GeoDms version 5.88 and 6.026 but not with GeoDms 6.025 and some earlier versions.

The Student Edition can be used to study how a land use simulation model can be set up. An assignment including a terse tutorial is included in the download page.

To set up another study area and/or to use the Discrete Allocation function, comparison with other projects might be useful. Model configurations for the following projects are available, but without the primary source data: Full versions of the land use scanner (the source data and model configuration data) are maintained by the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency.

 * Honduras svn-repository

Furthermore, the EUClueScanner contains working models for each of the EU Countries. The required source data and model configuration data) are maintained by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the JRC-Ispra
