Getting Started
Introduction to Landuse Analyst: navigation, workspace selection, Notebook vs Modern themes, and core workflow.
Read the guideModules & tools
Catchment Model
Model settlement food supply, population support capacity, Von Thünen land-use rings, and labor constraints.
Barriers Sandbox
Model terrain walking velocity using Tobler's Hiking Function, cost-distance surfaces, river crossing penalties, and accessibility contours.
Deep-Time Palaeo-GIS
Reconstruct palaeo-environmental surfaces, Dead Sea basin water levels, climate epochs, and prehistoric settlement patterns.
Data Catalogue
Browse, filter, inspect metadata, evaluate suitability, and export spatial DEM, pedology, and land-cover datasets.
Wildfire Simulator
Run hexagonal cellular automaton and WISE wave-front fire spread models, evaluate crown fire, and compute escape zones.
Regional Analysis
Aggregate settlement networks, compute regional carrying capacities, analyze catchment competition, and evaluate spatial density.
Reference
Methodology
Mathematical equations, caloric balance formulas, Von Thünen land zoning, and octagonal cost-grid propagation algorithm.
Glossary
Comprehensive dictionary of spatial GIS, catchment modelling, palaeoclimate, and wildfire terminology.
