CLUE model - background
Introduction
The Conversion of Land Use and its Effects modelling framework (CLUE) was
developed to simulate land use change using empirically quantified relations between
land use and its driving factors in combination with dynamic modelling of competition
between land use types. The model was developed for the national and continental level
and applications for Central America, Ecuador, China and Java, Indonesia are available.
For study areas with such a large extent the spatial resolution for analysis was coarse
and, as a result, each land use is represented by assigning the relative cover of each
land use type to the pixels.
