Key Themes and Discussions

  1. Modelling Techniques:
    • CLUE-S Model: An extensive discussion on the CLUE-S (Conversion of Land Use and its Effects at Small regional extent) model, which is a widely used tool for predicting land use changes. The model’s flexibility and adaptability to different regional contexts were highlighted.
    • Scenario Analysis: Presentation of different scenario analyses to understand potential future land use changes and their impacts.
  2. Case Studies:
    • Latvia: Focused on land use changes in the context of peatland conservation and agricultural expansion.
    • Romania: Examined the impacts of socio-economic changes on land use patterns, particularly in rural areas.
    • Czech Republic: Highlighted urban expansion and its effects on surrounding agricultural lands and natural habitats.
  3. Participatory Approaches:
    • Emphasis on involving local communities and stakeholders in the modelling process to ensure the relevance and applicability of the models.
    • Use of participatory mapping and workshops to gather local knowledge and validate model outputs.
  4. Policy Implications:
    • Discussion on how land use models can inform policy decisions, particularly in the areas of sustainable development, climate change adaptation, and biodiversity conservation.
    • Examples of how models have been used to support policy-making at both national and regional levels.
  5. Technology Integration:
    • Use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies to enhance the accuracy and applicability of land use models.
    • Integration of IACS data to improve the spatial resolution and temporal accuracy of land use predictions.
