This toolbox makes use of a range of input files. The files in demo.zip are in this required format. The requirements are detailed below.
- All files must cover the same geographic areas
- All files must be in the same coordinate system
- Example is brighton-lewes-down-land-cover.shp
- This file contains the different land cover types.
- The column specifying the type of land cover must be called Main_habit.
- All land cover types must be present.
- It is recommended that the number of columns are kept to a minimum, as a number of other layers will be joined to this one, and the number of columns will increase significantly.
- Example is land-cover-senstivity.csv
- All land covers must be listed.
- If the land cover is not needed in the model, it must still be listed, and given a senstivity score of 1.
- The land cover column must be called Habitat_environment_type.
- There is a maximum length to the field name of the sensitivity score, so try and keep this as short as possible (e.g. no more than ~ 25 characters, e.g. ND_North_Devon or BLD_Birghton_Lewes_Down is fine). This is because during the joining process, the field names can get very long (and subsequently get cut off).
- Example is seasonality.csv
- Contains information on which land cover types are more sensitive in summer or winter.
- All land covers must be listed.
- The column specifying the type of land cover must be called Habitat_environment_type.
- The two seasons are Winter and Summer, the columns must be called Winter and Summer.
- Give each land cover a weight of 1 (No, i.e. not more sensitive in that season) or 2 (Yes, i.e. more sensitive in that season).
- If a land cover type is not more sensitive in either season, label both as 1.
- If null values are present, then these land cover types will be missing in the summer_raster and winter_raster outputs.
- Example is bldbr-pressures-merged.tif & bldbr-opportunity-merged.tif
- These identify the stakeholder identification of areas of tourism pressure and opportunity.
- All rasters must be set to the same resolution and extent.
- They must have values of 1 (there is pressure/opportunity) or 0 (there is not pressure/opportunity).
- The pressure raster is used as a template (extent and resolution) for raster export of land cover for winter and summer.
- Example is factor-weights.csv
- This lists all of the Factor Raster Layers and the weights given to them for Pressure and Opportunity.
- factor-file column lists the file name (including extension).
- pressure-weight lists the pressure weight.
- opportunity-weight lists the opportunity weight.
- Example is scenario-weights.csv
- This lists the three scenarios (Profit, Business as usual, Custodianship) and their weights
- Structured with 4 columns (scenario, factor-file, opportunity-multiplier, pressure-multiplier)
- Each factor layer (with multiplier) must be listed for each scenario.
- The scenarios are Profit, Business as usual, Custodianship. These are fixed in the code.
- All factor layers must be present for each scenario, with an appropriate weighting for opportunity and pressure. A weighting of 1 will have no impact on the output.
- The scenarios have been renamed:
- Profit is now: Less Regulation
- Business as usual (unchanged)
- Custodianship is: Responsibility and Custodianship
- Examples are in \factor-rasters
- For ease, these are all stored within the factor-rasters sub-folder and can be added in using the browse tool or by selecting from the drop down list.
- Rasters must have a value of 1 where the object is present, and 0 where the object is not present.
- All rasters must have the same extent and resolution.
- Rasters (filenames including extension) and factor weights must be listed in factor-weights.csv file.
