Tool summary

Name of the tool
LURM - Land Use and Resource Matrix

Description of the tool
LURM contains two information lists of analytical procedures. The first one comprises all land use demands (housing, squares, roads, green areas etc.) and the other - all the available land resources, classified according to intrinsic quality of the territory and its vocation of use (urban landscape, green conservation areas, land for agriculture, areas for infrastructure etc.). The two lists constitute the vectors of LURM, whose coefficients represent the transferral of existing resources into potential demand or vice versa. LURM represents a computational and evaluating model of the compatibilities and incompatibilities between (a) alternative uses for a single unit of an available resource (b) alternative use demands of existing or potentially available resources.
