Descripción
Sumario:This research developed an innovative methodology combining qualitative participatory scenarios with spatially explicit quantitative models to provide land use planning recommendations for the Biscay region. As part of the Millenium Assesment in Biscay-Basque Country Sub-global assessment, previous participatory scenario planning yielded four scenarios in the study area: Oppressed Biscay, Global Delicatessen, TechnoFaith and Cultivating Social Values. Through the current research, these participatory scenarios have been complemented and revised through spatially explicit analysis of land cover in the four scenarios, with the aims to: verify the coherency and plausibility of the land changes for each scenario, identify those areas more likely to change in the four scenarios, and analyze the sustainability of each scenario.
