Description

Has description	OSMOSE stands for a conceptual generator of specific decision support systems (DSS) for spatial allocation of land use types. The DSS to be generated by OSMOSE are meant to (i) identify land units which meet multiple predefined attribute values for a specific land use type (LUT) and (ii) rank land units for a given LUT according to these multiple attributes. A complementary purpose is to identify and rank LUTs for a given land unit. The proposed framework is extremely flexible as it can accommodate continuous and ordinal, differentially weighted attributes (with unequal number of classes), alternative land unit definitions, land use types and climate change scenarios. The OSMOSE-framework is designed to address four types of specific questions concerning land use planning: 1. What is the performance of a considered land unit under the current land use type ? This ‘What?’ question inquires, for the selected land units, the value of one or more specific attributes for the current (ini
