Land Transformation Model

The Land Transformation Model is a computer-based tool that predicts how land use—such as forests, farms, cities, or parks—might change over time. It considers factors like population growth, transportation, zoning, and environmental policies to simulate future land development. This helps planners and policymakers understand potential impacts of their decisions, guiding sustainable growth and land management. Essentially, it provides a forecast of land use changes, helping communities plan wisely for future needs while balancing development and conservation.
