Land use modelling simulates how land use may change over time, given how much land each use needs, how suitable each location is and which restrictions apply. This wiki explains the method and the models built on it with the GeoDMS software.

Where to start

• To run a model yourself, go to the Land Use Scanner demo: a working model of the Netherlands that you can download, with an exercise in the GeoDMS Academy.
• To understand the method, start with Land use modelling, which explains the concepts and how they fit together.
• To find a model, go to Models, which shows which models exist, who maintains them and where the code is.
• To find a publication, go to the Literature, a list of publications on Land Use Scanner and its applications.
