Combining agent functional types, capitals and services to model land use dynamics
Large-scale models of land use change require improved treatment of human behaviour. We present CRAFTY: an agent based land use modelling framework for use over large geographical extents. The framework accounts for land use intensity and multifunctionality. We allow incorporation of a range of ecosystem services and institutional behaviour. We demonstrate the frameworks ability to simulate important drivers of land use change.
