The LUISA (Land Use-based Integrated Sustainability Assessment) modelling platform is primarily used for the ex-ante evaluation of EC policies that have a direct or indirect territorial impact. It is based on the concept of land function for cross-sector integration and for the representation of complex system dynamics. Beyond a traditional land use model, LUISA adopts a new approach towards activity-based modelling based upon the endogenous dynamic allocation of population, services and activities.
LUISA produce three main outputs, which can be grouped in the following datasets:
- Primary outputs: land-use, population distribution, potential accessibility maps;
- Secondary outputs: thematic indicators;
