The CLUE modeling framework (Conversion of Land Use and its Effects) is based on a CA model of which the first version was developed by Veldkamp and Fresco (1996) and applied to Costa Rica. The various version of CLEU (CLUE, CLUE-s, Dyna-CLUE and CLUE-Scanner) are amongst the most frequently applied land use models. The original version simulated the effects of demographical and biophysical conditions on land use and land cover changes, including a local and regional feedback mechanism from those driving forces. Subsequently, a multi-scale approach allows the model to simulate the urban dynamics related to the top-down and bottom-up effects and constraints. Data requirements The data requirement depend on the version of CLUE that is used and …show more content…

The demand module calculate the demand for a land use type on a national scale, based on changes in various, user-defined, socio-economic and demographic factors. The calculations are based on historic trends derived from the input data, which are projected to account for future demand. From a regional or national level, the demand module influence the spatial allocation and distribution of various land use types and associated productions (Verburg, Veldkamp, & Fresco, …show more content…

Multiple regression models are calculated to quantity this relationship between the various conditions and the allocation of land use. The aforementioned scales determine the structure of the land use patterns. The coarse scale is used for general trends and relationships between land use and its driving factors, whilst the fine scale is to identify variability within regions, and coarse cells. Therefore, the spatial analyses is conducted on two scales, allowing for variation within the influences of determining factors (Verburg, et al. 1999; Veldkamp & Fresco,
